Injection of nitrogen-consuming microbes into soils may be an effective, environment-friendly way to stabilize soils against liquefaction during earthquakes. In this image, a San Francisco apartment ...
Building safer cities with AI: Machine learning model enhances urban resilience against liquefaction
The AI-based model proposed by researchers from Japan provides detailed soil stability maps, allowing smart cities to identify safe construction zones and mitigate liquefaction risks. The proposed ...
On June 16, 1964, a magnitude 7.5 earthquake rocked Niigata, Japan. Though Japan had seen its share of earthquakes, this one was different. Buildings and structures were toppled intact and large sand ...
During strong earthquakes, when the ground is loose and saturated, the ground can become fluid. This process is known as liquefaction, and while it may seem like a perhaps unnerving curiosity in the ...
Floating on land: this storm drain was pushed up through the road in Christchurch by liquefaction caused by the 2010 Canterbury earthquake. (Courtesy: Martin Luff/CC BY-SA 2.0) Contrary to ...
India's earthquake monitoring agency, the National Centre for Seismology (NCS), has said the earthquake that hit Myanmar and Thailand on Friday (March 28, 2025) afternoon caused severe damage because ...
An engineer on the ground in Christchurch says that New Zealand s seismic retrofit code and/or construction methods should be strengthened based on the damage to recently upgraded buildings. Many ...
Granular materials, like sand, appear like a solid, but under certain circumstances they can suddenly behave like a liquid. How this exactly happens is still a physical mystery. Water can play a role, ...
