Prediction of surface ground motion based on advanced approaches is a non-trivial task at
large area. In fact, advanced approaches require a detailed geological and geotechnical …

On 26th December 2018, an earthquake (Mw= 4.9) hits the eastern flank of the Etna volcano
(Italy). It was the strongest seismic event among seventy with Mw> 2.5 occurring from 23rd …

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 …

In the last 20 years, there have been a series of seismic events in Italy that have caused
serious damage to civil and building structures. This has led to a significant increase in the …

This study investigated the respective correlation coefficients between pore water pressure
(PWP) development in sandy soil and 41 CAV-based (cumulative absolute velocity) ground …

A statistical analysis has been performed aiming at determining to what extent a qualitative
engineering-geological characterization of subsoil may provide constraints to the shear …

The seismic stability assessment of anthropogenic cavities is a challenging issue for land
and urban planning, particularly in areas of possible interaction with surface structures and …

Abstract In 2012, the Emilia-Romagna region (Italy) was struck by a seismic crisis
characterized by two main shocks (ML 5.9 and 5.8) which triggered relevant liquefaction …

The extensive evaluation of the impact of local seismo-stratigraphic configurations on
seismic ground motion presents significant challenges due to the necessity of considering …

For the seismic risk assessment of underground infrastructures, the construction of reliable
numerical models may become challenging, especially in the case of old tunnels for which …
