The Central Italy earthquake sequence nominally began on 24 August 2016 with a M6.1 event normal fault that produced devastating effects in the town of Amatrice and several nearby villages hamlets. A major international response was undertaken to record this disaster, including surface faulting, ground motions, landslides, damage patterns structures. This work targeted development high-value case histories useful future research. Subsequent events October exacerbated previously affected...
Abstract Some important modifications were made to an existing triaxial testing apparatus more accurately evaluate the stress-strain behavior of geomaterials for wide ranges strain and rate. An electro-mechanical loading device was specifically designed control states stress paths study quasi-elastic properties at any given state. The is now driven by a-c servo motor, allowing changing rate about three orders magnitude without intermission in each test. A 16-bit A/D card has been adopted...
The design and the manufacture of oil gas pipelines are being improved over years in response to observed damages related disastrous effects. improvements possible, thanks increasing knowledge about pipeline performances specific contexts. seismic hazard on buried has always been major concern, earthquake-induced soil liquefaction effects among most important issues be accounted for design. Experiences based case histories, experimental modelling, numerical simulations represent source...
Compacted granular soils with small additions of bentonite have been used to build geotechnical structures such as impervious liners and cores zoned earth dams. This paper presents a laboratory study showing how physical mechanical characteristics silty sand are modified by low percentage bentonite. The effects the addition on reflected an increase in plasticity index, reduction maximum Proctor density, decrease hydraulic conductivity. most significant consequences properties compressibility...
