Monitoring sources of environmental risks from rising groundwater levels and associated
soil degradation is a substantial challenge in coastal regions of the world. The integration of …

Whether the so-called double porosity in soils with a loose and natural packing state is a
concept with real-world implications is a fundamental yet controversial question in the study …

An electrical resistivity tomography survey was conducted to assess the subsurface
conditions associated with the coseismic liquefaction phenomenon in the epicentral region …

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 …

This paper illustrates the use of the seismic dilatometer (SDMT) to assess the decay of in-
situ stiffness with strain level in different soil types. The approach adopted in this study relies …

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 …

Over the past few millennia, meandering fluvial channels drained coastal landscapes
accumulating sedimentary successions that today are permeable pathways. Propagation of …

A fully coupled non-linear effective stress response finite difference (FD) model is built to
survey the counter-intuitive recent findings on the reliance of pore water pressure ratio on …

The cone penetration test is often used in geological and geotechnical surveys for
characterising soil layers and to solve a wide set of geotechnical problems, especially for …

Different CPT-based methods generally provide considerably different liquefaction potential
values if they are applied to these soil mixtures of sandy silts to clayey sands and they often …
