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 …

On May 20, 2012 an earthquake of magnitude ML= 5.9 struck the Emilia Romagna Region
of Italy and a little portion of Lombardia Region. Successive earthquakes occurred on May …

Soil liquefaction can result in significant settlement and reduction of load-bearing capacity.
Moreover, the increase and the accumulation of pore pressure during an earthquake and its …

Large portions of the highly populated central Po Plain in northern Italy are susceptible to
major liquefaction–induced ground failure and resulting damage, as illustrated by the 2012 …

Abstract In 2012 Northern Italy was hit by a seismic sequence with earthquakes of moderate
local magnitudes and shallow hypocentral depths. After the main shocks of May 20, collapse …

Significant and widespread liquefaction phenomena were observed after the main shock of
the Emilia earthquake (Italy) on May 20, 2012. A considerable number of surveys were …

Studies on earthquake-induced liquefaction tied to high-resolution stratigraphic analysis
have been rarely undertaken. We report the results of a multidisciplinary study from the …

Fully liquefied soils behave like viscous fluids, and models developed within the framework
of soil mechanics fail to catch their behaviour on the verge of liquefaction or after it. Several …

National and international seismic codes and recommendations provide criteria for
liquefaction exclusion based on a peak ground acceleration (PGA) threshold value. In this …

ABSTRACT A blast-induced liquefaction test was conducted in the surroundings of Mirabello
(NE Italy), where extensive liquefaction phenomena were observed after the 2012 Emilia …
