Recent earthquakes have demonstrated the devastating impact of earthquakes triggering soil liquefaction (Earthquake-Induced Liquefaction Disasters, EILDs), causing serious structural damage and loss of life. In some cases, EILDs have accounted for half of the total economic losses resulting from the earthquake itself.
\nAlthough the causes of liquefaction had largely been identified, it was necessary to recognise the factors contributing to its occurrence, assess the risks and find effective techniques to reduce its negative impact on buildings. The most appropriate mitigation strategy must also be implemented, taking into account the site’s susceptibility to liquefaction and the type and size of the above-ground structures.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

The LIQUEFACT<\/strong> project, funded by the EU under H2020 \u2013 DRS 2015 call (Research Innovation Action)<\/strong>, focused on mitigating the risks associated with EILDs in Europe through a holistic approach.
\nThe project addressed not only the resistance of structures to EILD events, but also the resilience of the collective urban community in relation to rapid recovery from an event.
\nLIQUEFACT aimed to gain a deeper understanding of EILDs, the application of mitigation techniques and the development of more appropriate techniques tailored to each specific scenario, both for European and global situations.<\/p>\n

The project, which started on 1 May 2016, lasted three and a half years. Partners are:<\/p>\n
