Earthquake-induced liquefaction can significantly modify the dynamic response of a soil
deposit and interacting structures. In this study, dynamic soil-structure interaction analyses …

In this paper, a study concerning the soil liquefaction potential in the city of Catania is
presented. The stress-based liquefaction analysis framework for cohesionless soil includes …

On the night of December 26th, 2018, a strong earthquake, with a magnitude of 4.9 on the
Richter scale, hit the southeastern side of the Mt. Etna Volcano (Sicily), with the epicenter …

In the paper a modelling of a real debris flow in the Enna area in the south of Italy is
described. Starting from the study of the geological framework and the historical background …

The analysis of the historical reports and previous research projects allowed us to describe
high-level seismic risk scenarios for the city of Catania, located on the eastern coast of Sicily …

Seismic vibrators have wide prospections in geological exploration which can provide useful
information of underground conditions for various geotechnical engineering. The …

The complex cyclic shear stress path experienced by the soil during an earthquake, which
could also induce liquefaction phenomena, can be approximated in the laboratory only by …

Offshore wind power, as an efficient renewable energy source, is being vigorously
developed nowadays. However, the liquefaction of marine sand due to earthquakes brings …

Thematic maps, such as seismic risk maps, are a useful tool that researchers use for
representing the adverse outcomes that a natural catastrophic event can have over the …

Several urban areas in the Mediterranean have already been subjected to seismic
microzonation studies aimed at determining the acceleration expected on the ground …
