An astounding video on soil liquefaction, just the news ... seems of yesterday.

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

Was a Geotech involved here in the initial design of the port on these soils? Makes me wonder as apparently the behaviour of this type of clay has been documented elsewhere in the past. Personally, I have never heard or seen it before. Expensive mistake for someone.

Still hoping one of my Brazilian acquaintances will have something. One responded to my email this morning, but he's in Switzerland right now. Says he will get back to me later this week. I did speak with an American geotech who has worked down there some, and he didn't believe the right conditions for formation of quick clays ever occurred in that area.
