Soil liquefaction is a phenomenon in which soil loses much of its strength or stiffness for a generally short time. It arises with cyclic loading and static overloading of soil, usually but not exclusively from earthquakes. Liquefaction develops rapidly, often with minimal warning in what appears to be a safe situation. It has caused many failures worldwide, with both deaths and some very large financial losses.
