Award-winning dataset helps in seismic liquefaction research

Computer simulations are helping scientists and engineers improve liquefaction predictions. Liquefaction is an effect of earthquakes that causes soil to lose its rigidity and cause buildings to collapse, sometimes fatally. The dataset, which provides critical input for assessing seismic liquefaction induction, was awarded the 2024 DesignSafe Dataset Award in recognition of the dataset’s diverse contributions to natural hazard research.
