Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : Only balcony in the building

Explanation:

Soil Liquefaction:

Soil liquefaction is the phenomenon in which the stiffness and the strength of the soil are lost under the action of earthquake force or due to rapid loading conditions. Soil liquefaction occurs in fully saturated soil.

  • Soil Liquefaction does not create cracks in the balcony of the building. It affects the other structures like beams, columns, floors, walls, slabs, etc. 
  • Effects of Liquefaction:
  • Sand Boiling
  • Damage to offshore structures
  • Failure of Dams and Retaining Walls
  • Surface Landslides
  • Failure of Structures under Earthquake
