Liquefaction, a significant hazard triggered by earthquakes, is characterized by a sudden loss of shear strength due to a rise in pore pressure and the corresponding reduction in effective stresses, leading to structural damage and substantial economic losses. Numerous studies have investigated various mitigation measures for liquefaction. Recently, the focus has shifted toward developing environmentally friendly, cost-effective technologies to enhance liquefaction resistance. One such promising technique is induced partial saturation (IPS), which has the potential to serve as a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and practical solution for both new and existing structures. The IPS mechanism was examined and discussed extensively in the first part of this review. The effectiveness and usability of this approach in the soil are reviewed in the next section, using small, large-scale laboratory and field-scale testing. Following that, microbubble and pore-scale studies are used to quantify durability and stability. The review has provided several key recommendations to address the current challenges and limitations of the technique, aiming to enhance its effectiveness and stability. Given the ongoing research and the need to ascertain their suitability for practical applications, the existence of a comprehensive literature review becomes essential. This review will provide researchers with valuable insights into the current state of knowledge in this field and serve as a foundation for future studies.
