摘要

Liquefaction is characterized by the loss of soil shear strength and its transformation from a solid to a liquid-like state due to the generation of excess pore water pressure in the event of an earthquake. This phenomenon leads to decreased effective stresses and, therefore, a reduced load-bearing capacity of the soil. Many earthquakes over the past few decades have caused soil liquefaction, resulting in the disruption of existing structures and enormous economic losses. To compensate for and prevent these losses, environmentally reliable and effective mitigation techniques are required. Many remediation methods have been extensively studied and developed by researchers for the mitigation of liquefaction. This review provides an overview of the various remediation methods, such as prefabricated vertical drains (PVD’s), grouting, vibro-replacement (stone columns), vibro-compaction, nanoparticles, fiber reinforcement, bio-cementation, recycled materials, and induced partial saturation (IPS). These methods have been adopted by various researchers to strengthen the liquefaction susceptible soils such as loose saturated sands, non-plastic silts, and silty sands. This paper assesses the applicability and efficacy of these existing ground improvement techniques in mitigating liquefaction hazards.
