  2. Soil liquefaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_liquefaction

    Soil liquefaction occurs when a cohesionless saturated or partially saturated soil substantially loses strength and stiffness in response to an applied stress such as shaking during an earthquake or other sudden change in stress condition, in which material that is ordinarily a solid behaves like a liquid.

  3. Liquefaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefaction

    In materials science, liquefaction [1] is a process that generates a liquid from a solid or a gas [2] or that generates a non-liquid phase which behaves in accordance with fluid dynamics. [3] It occurs both naturally and artificially .

  4. Soil-structure interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil-structure_interaction

    When a structure is subjected to an earthquake excitation, it interacts with the foundation and the soil, and thus changes the motion of the ground. Soil-structure interaction broadly can be divided into two phenomena: a) kinematic interaction and b) inertial interaction. Earthquake ground motion causes soil displacement known as free-field ...

  7. Standard penetration test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_penetration_test

    Use of SPT data for direct prediction of liquefaction potential suffers from roughness of correlations and from the need to "normalize" SPT data to account for overburden pressure, sampling technique, and other factors. [4] Additionally, the method cannot collect accurate data for weak soil layers for several reasons:

  9. Soil test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_test

    A soil test is a laboratory or in-situ analysis to determine the chemical, physical or biological characteristics of a soil. Possibly the most widely conducted soil tests are those performed to estimate the plant-available concentrations of nutrients in order to provide fertilizer recommendations in agriculture.
