Liquefaction and flow failure during earthquakes.
TL;DR: In this article, two aspects of seismically-induced liquefaction are discussed which are of vital engineering significance: the triggering condition and the consequences of liquidation, and the evaluation of residual strength requires a better understanding of undrained sand behaviour.
