Overcoming challenges such as soil liquefaction is, thus, the need of the hour. Accordingly, researchers from the Shibaura ...

Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness of a soil is reduced by earthquake ... earthquake strikes by building a simple model. Students also discuss different ways to ...

so that the confining stress is identical in both model and prototype at homologous points. The technique allows soil liquefaction tests to be performed at a conveniently reduced scale and provides ...

In this context, it is proposed to model relevant soil parameters as the components ... the study will provide a basis for characterization of spatial variability of soil properties and for ...

Soil liquefaction was also a major cause of the damage, said O.P. Mishra, head of the NCS. Soil liquefaction happens during a strong earthquake, when the ground starts acting like a liquid instead ...
