In earthquake-prone areas like Japan, there is a need for better prediction of soil stability to mitigate liquefaction risks. Towards this end, researchers have used machine learning models, including ...

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

If you do not know what a liquefaction zone is, then you probably are not concerned if your home is in a liquefaction zone. However, if you own a home or want to purchase a home in the San Francisco ...

No one knows exactly when or where an earthquake will strike. But computer simulations are helping scientists and engineers improve predictions for liquefaction—a sometimes deadly earthquake effect ...

A Selwyn District Council report on liquefaction has been released to give residents, property owners and the building sector an understanding of new building requirements following the Canterbury ...

PADADA, Davao del Sur, Philippines — Science Undersecretary Renato Solidum stressed the need to follow the building code in putting up structures in areas like this town identified by experts to be ...

During the next big quake, a phenomenon called liquefaction might cause buildings in low-lying areas of the Bay Area to partly sink, perhaps even below water level, while seemingly rigid steel-frame ...
