Given the abundance and importance of earth retention structures, the problem of seismic
earth pressure has attracted not only the research community but also industry and …

The great influence of site effects on damage patterns produced by seismic events of the
past, stresses out the need to find proper relationships between the site local conditions and …

Dam monitoring represents a crucial issue in order to avoid catastrophic failures due to
infrastructure aging or earthquake damages. Differential SAR Interferometry (DInSAR) is a …

The 2016 Italian seismic sequence was characterized by three main shocks that occurred on
August 24 th, on October 26 th and 30 th. The latter, a Mw 6.5 event, is the strongest seismic …

The 2016–2017 seismic sequence in the Central Apennines (Italy) demonstrated, once
again, the relevant role of the differentiated seismic effects related to different features in …

A bstract The earthquake-induced damage to earth-retaining structures located along
roadway network clearly affects the operations during the emergency and rescue phases in …

This work deals with the experimental and numerical evaluation of the local seismic
response of Arquata del Tronto area (Marche Region, central Italy), severely struck by the …

This study investigates shear zone development in a coarse-grained soil slope beneath a
railway embankment under seismic action. Clarifying the dynamic stress and residual strain …

The combined effect of topography and near-surface heterogeneities on the seismic
response is hardly predictable and may lead to an aggravation of the ground motion. We …

Earthquakes have and continue to, occur worldwide, though some places are affected more
than others by earthquake-induced ground shaking and the same earthquake can cause …
