Dynamic compaction (DC) is a ground treatment method that achieves soil densification effects using impact forces. The ground displacement of a crater induced by a hammer is often used for the determination of densification, but less attention has been p...

Maar volcanoes are monogenetic landforms whose craters cut below the pre-eruptive surface and are surrounded by a tephra ring. Both the maar crater and the surrounding tephra rim deposits are typically formed due to magma?water explosive interactions. No...
