Liquefaction phenomena have been confirmed in the Noto Peninsula Earthquake. An on-site survey found that Uchinada Town in Ishikawa Prefecture suffered large-scale damage, including ground ...

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.

Soil liquefaction has been observed and documented in earthquake-prone areas such as California, Alaska, Japan, South America, Turkey, and other places around the world.

Earthquakes really pose little direct danger to a person. People can't be shaken to death by an earthquake. Some movies show scenes with the ground suddenly opening up and people falling into fiery ...

UCHINADA, Ishikawa Prefecture--Liquefaction has caused severe and widespread damage here, with houses and roads tilting due to the ground heaving and sinking following the Jan. 1 earthquake.

Computer simulations are helping scientists and engineers improve predictions for liquefaction — a sometimes deadly earthquake effect where the soil loses its stiffness, thus toppling buildings ...
