Soil liquefaction that results in infrastructure damage has long been a point of contention for urban planners and engineers. Accurately predicting the soil liquefaction risk of a region could help ...

In a new study, the conventional understanding of soil liquefaction is being challenged, significantly reshaping our comprehension of earthquake-related soil deformation. Traditionally, soil ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and world. Our ...

This research experimentally investigates how rainfall infiltration and earthquake shaking interact to trigger liquefaction and permanent ground deformation in slopes composed of granular soils. While ...

Kanpur: A 17-year study by the Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur (IIT-K) has warned that parts of Kanpur and Prayagraj ...

Pile group interaction during lateral loading reduces lateral resistance. Based on full-scale lateral pile group testing, the reduction is a function of pile spacing, row position and soil type.

This image shows a sample comparison between the risk map generated by the researchers using AI and the officially published risk map by the Yokohama authorities. The generated risk map incorporates ...

Soil liquefaction, a destructive phenomenon occurring during earthquakes, has traditionally been associated with undrained conditions near the earthquake epicenter. However, new research conducted by ...

Earthquake-induced soil liquefaction, often described as the phenomena of seismic generation of excess porewater pressures and consequent softening of granular soils, is a leading cause of earthquake ...
