Quantitative calibration of two-dimensional aggravation factors in the seismic response of basins: a work-in-progress approach using OpenSees and Python Open
The quantitative prediction of the seismic response of basins is difficult to achieve due to the highly two- and three-dimensional phenomena involved. Eurocode 8 parameterizes stratigraphic and topographic site effects by means of multipli…

Thermo-mechanical behavior of energy micropiles Open
Since the first application of piles as energy geostructure in Austria in the 1980s [1], the use of geostructures has steadily increased worldwide. Energy geostructures are complex systems that combine structural, geotechnical, and thermal…

Effects of Colloidal Silica Grouting on Geotechnical Properties of Liquefiable Soils: A Review Open
Colloidal silica (CS) is a kind of nanomaterial used in soil/rock grouting techniques in different branches of civil engineering. Many studies have recently been performed to investigate the potential of CS in improving the mechanical beha…

Effects of high-diluted colloidal silica grouting on the behaviour of a liquefiable sand Open
The effectiveness of colloidal silica (CS) treatment in increasing the liquefaction resistance of sandy soils is by now amply demonstrated. However, the best value of the CS content to achieve high performance, minimising economic cost and…

Optimizing Wireless Sensor Network Installations by Visibility Analysis on 3D Point Clouds Open
In this paper, a MATLAB tool for the automatic detection of the best locations to install a wireless sensor network (WSN) is presented. The implemented code works directly on high-resolution 3D point clouds and aims to help in positioning …

Computational and experimental study of seismic site effects on Amatrice hill Open
Amatrice is considered the town symbol of the destructive effects induced by 2016 Central Italy seismic sequence. As a result of the two main shocks (August 24th, M=6.0 and October 30th, M=6.5) the ancient urban area of the municipality, l…

The first Italian blast-induced liquefaction test (Mirabello, Emilia-Romagna, Italy): description of the experiment and preliminary results Open
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 post-seismic dissipation can generate permanent deform…

Seismic microzonation: an essential tool for urban planning in seismic areas Open
Dramatic images of heaps of rubble produced in Italy by destructive earthquakes show the extreme vulnerability of urban systems and territory and the need for urgent measures to protect citizens, buildings, artistic heritage and landscape.…

Correction of Mechanical CPT Data for Liquefaction Resistance Evaluation Open
For more than 30 years, there has been considerable interest in using CPT also to evaluate the liquefaction resistance of soils. Unfortunately, most of the simplified methods used for liquefaction resistance evaluation only require in situ…

1D Versus 2D Site Effects from Numerical Analyses on a Cross Section at Barberino Di Mugello (Tuscany, Italy) Open
The results of 1D and 2D numerical analyses performed to better understand the basin geometry effects on ground seismic response in a site of the Mugello area are presented and discussed. Geological subsoil modelling and site geotechnical …
