To assess the seismic performance of slopes, the simplified displacement-based methods
represent a good-working balance between simplicity and reliability. The so-called …

This paper provides an interpretation of the dynamic behaviour of yielding cantilever walls,
regarding which open issues still remain about the applicability of the Mononobe–Okabe …

The paper focuses on the seismic performance of the San Pietro dam (located in Southern

La valutazione delle condizioni di stabilità dei pendii naturali in presenza di azioni sismiche
è in genere effettuata mediante l'approccio pseudostatico nel quale l'azione sismica è …

Since the catastrophic failures due to soil liquefaction occurred during Niigata and Good
