What is Soil Liquefaction? Mitigation by Deep Soil Mixing
MethodWilliam Hauselberg September 6, 2011 — 346 views When soil
is stressed, it can liquefy, losing its stability and strength.
The stress can be caused by extreme force such as an earthquake,
or the introduction of too much water to the ground. The
resulting soil liquefaction can occur, destabilizing the ground.
Different types of soils react differently to stress, for
example, soil that is mostly sand can liquefy faster than clay
soils.
