Soil liquefaction—the process where saturated soil loses its structure and transforms to a fluid-like state—can have devastating outcomes, as evidenced by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011.
Soil nailing is a widely adopted ground reinforcement technique that involves the insertion of slender elements into unstable soil masses to enhance slope stability and support retaining structures.
Transparent soil modelling represents a significant advance in geotechnical research, enabling scientists to observe and quantify the internal behaviour of soil systems under various loading and ...
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 ...
Researchers explored the potential of stress-controlled and strain-controlled cyclic triaxial testing for liquefaction resistance evaluation of chemically treated soils Soil liquefaction can be a ...
