How can homes and other structures be protected from liquefaction?

Liquefaction is caused by soil types in poor drainage areas which are shaken by earthquakes. This causes small pockets of openings. Before construction, the soil must be tested and a plan to ameliorate the cause - soil and/or water drainage - as well as to consider the best sort of foundation for the building.

How can liquefaction cause damage during earthquakes?

During an earthquake, liquefaction can occur when saturated soil loses its strength and stiffness, behaving like a liquid. This can cause buildings and infrastructure to sink, tilt, or collapse as the ground loses its ability to support them. Liquefaction can also lead to landslides and other ground failures, increasing the risk of damage to structures and utilities during an earthquake.


What is a process by which shaking makes loose sediment behave like a liquid?

You are probably looking for the word 'liquefaction,' which means dirt during an earthquake suddenly becoming runny. Either that, or 'thixotropy,' which means a fluid moving about more easily the more pressure is applied to it.


What happens during liquefaction?

During liquefaction, the soil loses its strength and stiffness due to increased pore water pressure caused by an earthquake or other rapid loading events. This causes the soil to behave like a liquid, leading to ground failure, sinking, and potentially damaging structures built on top of it.

Why does liquefaction cause so much damage?

Liquefaction occurs when saturated soil loses its strength and behaves like a liquid during an earthquake, causing buildings and infrastructure to sink or tilt.
