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.

Here’s a brief explanation of liquefaction, how common it is, and where it is likely to happen. Liquefaction is a phenomenon where saturated sand and silt take on the characteristics of a liquid ...

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) has been developed as a scalable alternative for plastic recycling. But what is HTL, how does it work, and could it be the key to reducing plastic waste? Hydrothermal ...

Accordingly, researchers from the Shibaura Institute of Technology, Japan, have applied artificial intelligence to generate ...

A recent study published in the Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts examines the hydrothermal liquefaction of sewage ...

The January 1 Noto Peninsula Earthquake caused widespread liquefaction. Houses and roads sustained damage when loosely packed, waterlogged sediments at or near the ground surface lost their strength.

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, ...
