The Contribution of Vegetation to the Shallow Slopes Stability Open
Geometry is one of the main factors controlling the overall stability of levees, in addition to their hydraulic and mechanical characteristics, while in turn, their material strength strongly depends on their degree of saturation. Given th…

Site Characterization by Dynamic In Situ and Laboratory Tests for Liquefaction Potential Evaluation during Emilia Romagna Earthquake Open
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 damaged city of Scortichino—Bondeno. Deep site inves…

Site seismic response for a strategic building in the city of Messina by two-dimensional finite element analysis Open
It is well recognized that local seismic effects can exert a significant influence on the distribution of damages during earthquakes. Traditionally, these effects have been studied by means of simple one-dimensional (1-D) models of seismic…

Two-dimensional site seismic response analysis for a strategic building in Catania Open
This study is part of a more extensive research aimed to the seismic risk mitigation in Eastern Sicily. The earthquakes that occurred in Sicily in 1169, 1542, 1693, 1818, 1908 and more recently in 1990, testify the high level of seismic ha…

Seismic Response of a Strategic Building in Catania (Italy) by 2-D FEM Analysis Open
In the last 900 years, the east coast of Sicily has been struck by several disastrous earthquakes. The earthquakes occurred in 1169, 1542, 1693, 1818, 1908 and more recently in 1990, with estimated magnitudes, ranging from less than 5.0 to…

Experimental Study on Native Plant Root Tensile Strength for Slope Stabilization Open
The use of plants for protection of slopes or river embankments against water and wind erosion is spreading in civil and environmental engineering. Naturalistic approach for slope stabilization has been more and more studied and experiment…
