Abstract: Abstract The present invention relates to a system and method for soil liquefaction mitigation using reinforced ground inclusions. The system comprises a plurality of reinforced inclusions installed within liquefiable soil layers to improve soil stiffness, confinement, load-bearing capacity, and resistance to cyclic loading. Each inclusion may include a reinforced structural element, an improved soil confinement zone, and a drainage pathway configured to dissipate excess pore water pressure generated during seismic events. The inclusions collectively form a reinforced soil matrix that redistributes stresses, reduces deformation, and minimizes liquefaction- induced settlement and lateral spreading. The invention may further incorporate a monitoring and control system comprising sensors, data acquisition units, and analytical modules for real-time assessment of ground performance. The disclosed system is suitable for foundations, embankments, transportation infrastructure, marine structures, and other facilities located in liquefaction-prone regions, providing enhanced stability, safety, durability, and seismic resilience.
