State‐of‐the‐Art Review: Fiber‐Reinforced Soil as a Proactive Approach for Liquefaction Mitigation and Risk Management

open access: yesJournal of Engineering, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Soil liquefaction is a phenomenon that occurs in which the behavior of soils changes from solid to viscous liquid due to the effect of earthquake intensity or other sudden loadings. The earthquake results in excess pore water pressure, which leads to saturated loose soil with weaker characteristics and potentially causes large ground deformation and ...
