About

Liquefaction is a geotechnical phenomenon and an active research field investigating the temporary loss of strength and stiffness in saturated granular soils, typically induced by dynamic loading such as earthquakes. This concept explores the mechanisms driving the build-up of pore water pressure and subsequent reduction in effective stress, causing soil to behave like a viscous fluid, which is significant for evaluating seismic hazards and designing resilient civil infrastructure.
