The proposed procedure is applied to assess the soil liquefaction potential, which is found to be considerably affected by the inherent spatial variability of soil properties. Parametric studies, ...

Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness of a soil is reduced by earthquake shaking or other rapid loading. Liquefaction can cause major damage during an earthquake.

Numerous constitutive laws have been proposed for the numerical analysis of dynamic induced liquefaction of soil materials. In order to be useful to the engineering practice, a numerical technique ...

But computer simulations are helping scientists and engineers improve predictions for liquefaction—a sometimes deadly earthquake effect where the soil loses its stiffness, thus toppling ...

His main areas of research are shake table tests on deep and shallow foundations; liquefaction and laterally spreading grounds; mitigation measures for foundations in liquefiable soils; nonlinear site ...

In particular, the course will consider three topics of current professional and research interest: probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PHSA), soil liquefaction, and seismically induced ...

The ballooning costs for Yumeshima island in Osaka Bay follow revelations of soil liquefaction and contamination that would jeopardize the structural integrity of the land if not dealt with properly.

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 ...
