In a strong earthquake, not only a large number of coseismic landslides are triggered, but
relaxation and cracks in the rocks and soils are induced, which make these rocks and soils …

Assessing the behavior of earth dams under dynamic loads is one of the most significant
problems with the design of such large structures. The purpose of this study is to provide …

Earthquake is one of the primary factors that triggers the failure of slopes and the landslides
in the mountainous area. In this study, an efficient method for the seismic slope stability …

The crucial role that underground structures play today in transportation and utility networks
makes their seismic vulnerability a fundamental topic. The present paper deals with the role …

To investigate the geotechnical soil properties of Emilia Romagna Region, a large series of
in situ tests, laboratory tests and geophysical tests have been performed, particularly at the …

This paper investigates the seismic responses of homogenous single-faced rock slopes
subjected to vertically propagating shear waves by numerical simulations in order to explore …

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 …

Structural damage which occurs during earthquakes is related to both the soil dynamic
behavior attributes and soil response spectrums. Therefore, soil characterization based of S …

The presence of tunnels close to aboveground structures may modify the response of these
structures, while the contrary is also true, the presence of aboveground structures may …

Catastrophic loess-mudstone landslides have long been a major concern in Northwest
China due to the extreme weather and frequent earthquakes in history. To investigate the …
