This video was taken just moments after the 9.0 earthquake on March 11, 2011 in Central Park of Makuhari, Chiba City, Japan. It shows fissures moving and water from liquefaction coming to the surface. (There were no broken water pipes, as I initially wondered.). + Informações

Seismologists claim much of the damage across Christchurch is the result of a phenomenon known as liquefaction. The quake shaking the soft earth under the city so violently, sturdy roads and surfaces simply dissolved. See more at www.tennews.com.au. + Informações

This video we made will help demonstrate the concept of liquefaction. Sand (loose sediment) was used and water added to create a saturated soil as in nature. During an Earthquake, seismic activity (shaking) causes sand to compact and water to rise up between the grains creating a liquefied state that cannot support structures.. + Informações

Another quick video of the liquid earth. This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen on a job. The dirt was literally moving in waves as you can see. Be sure to watch in HD for the best picture. "LIKE" Bobcat NINJA on Facebook. www.Facebook.com What this is, is someone filled in an old in ground swimming pool with clay and didn't punch a hole in the bottom to let any surface or rain water escape, so over time the clay became extremely saturated. When I drove the mini excavator over it the clay began to "pump" or liquify and this is what happened. I have seen soil liquefaction before but never to this extreme.. + Informações

WE HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM, WE PROMISE YOU WOULDN'T BE IMPOSING AT ALL. Seriously! If you live in Japan, please tell me - what are your plans for survival in the next few weeks? It doesn't look like it's going to get any BETTER - and the ground isn't going to un-liquify itself, not to mention the relentless earthquakes and solar activity egging THOSE on.... I mean, are we just suposed to watch them sink and die in a catastrophe? Do you see how many of these souls fit themselves onto those tiny islands? We have so much space in the US that is not being used, SOOO MUCH land and space for people to live or atleast to come and be safe until things settle down. They should atleast send their students/children/caretakers of the children and the elderly, those of which would chose to come... We could set up hostiles. These are a very intelligent brand of people, I wouldn't mind their influence on our society. They are cool and peaceful. If you live in Japan, you should consider coming to the US where its safe ;.;... WHY ISN'T THE US GOVERNMENT OFFERING RELIEF AND EVACUATION?! OF JAPAN ALTOGETHER? ARE WE SERIOUSLY SUPOSED TO JUST SIT HERE REPORTING ON WHAT HAPPENS WHILE THEY DIE!?. + Informações

The suburb of Parklands following the Magnitude 6.3 earthquake on February 22nd, 2011. Twenty second of February, in the province of Canterbury We got the shaking of our lives We've got rivers instead of roads, it was flat now it's full of holes And we're in silt up to our eyes There's a fraction liquefaction, there's a fraction liquefaction yeah Driving 'round is too much trouble, what you need is a great big shovel There's a fraction liquefaction yeah, oh yeah Broken sewers and broken pipes, no water we are in strife Worst part is perching over a hole Hundreds, hundreds of aftershocks, dirty undies and stinky socks Just cooking tea is a rigmarole There's a fraction liquefaction, there's a fraction liquefaction yeah Cars buried up to their axles, daily life is a great big hassle There's a fraction liquefaction yeah, oh yeah. Look for a man with a great big shovel, look for a woman who will lend a hand When it's rainy it turns to slush, when it's sunny it turns to dust Christchurch just needs a good steam clean Looking forward to normality, chokkie bikkie and cup of tea And running water in my latrine There's a fraction liquefaction, there's a fraction liquefaction yeah Neighbourhood is like a ghost town, don't touch anything if it's brown There's a fraction liquefaction yeah.... + Informações

Hello, This is the simple liquefaction demonstration equipment. I made a liquefaction shaking table. The motor used is 1800 rpm. The sand box size is 25*30*25 (w*l*h)cm. I use fine sand, particle size is around 0.1-0.5 mm. The sand is saturated. The water level is at the top of the sand. Liquefaction only occurs in loose sand so I loose it before shaking. When I start to shake it, the building model will sink into the sand. The differnt type of foundation is no differrent in the result. I use shallow foundation and pile foundation, both sink into the sand. This is my researh at Civil Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand.. + Informações

This kicked off about ten minutes after the earthquake. Amazing to watch. Then reality slaps you in the face - it's not just water! To Steve the postie, you are a bloody legend!

Liquefaction can be triggering by earthquake shaking or wave actions. When liquefaction occurs, the strength of the soil decreases and, the ability of a soil deposit to support foundations for structures is reduced as seen in the demo video.. + Informações

In geology, liquefaction refers to the process by which saturated, unconsolidated sediments are transformed into a substance that acts like a liquid. Earthquakes can cause soil liquefaction where loosely packed, water-logged sediments come loose from the intense shaking of the earthquake.. + Informações

Hundred-foot sink hole opens up on Rainbow Beach: A MASSIVE sink hole is swallowing up the beach at Inskip, north of Tin Can Bay. Campers have told The Courier-Mail the hole, which appeared about 11am, could be up to 100 feet deep. Camper Shane Hillhouse said four-wheel-drives had been travelling along the popular stretch of sand, near Inskip Peninsula, shortly before the hole appeared. ``This has the potential to take the tip of Inskip Point with it -- this is huge and on a scale I've never seen before,'' he said. ``People are bringing chairs and sitting back to watch it in awe. ``This is absolutely amazing -- it's almost at the tree line now.'' Mr Hillhouse said the sink hole had expanded dramatically since 11am. ``It's three times bigger than it was an hour ago,'' he said. ``Chunks are falling out of the beach into nowhere. Where is the sand going? It's just incredible.'' Another camper said sand was dropping 150m into the ocean, although the depth of the hole is unknown. ``Sand is sinking in big sections,'' he said. No one is believed to have been injured. Gympie police duty officer Sergeant Vic Tipman said sink holes -- which swallowed portions of beach as big as houses -- were common at Inskip. ``Normally it will be between Inskip Point and where the barge goes across,'' he said. ``The sand just erodes from underneath the current and all of a sudden half the beach disappears. ``You've got to be careful driving up there.'' Sergeant Tipman said it was only a matter of .... + Informações
