Abstract. Past seismic events worldwide demonstrated that damage and death toll depend on both the strong ground motion (i.e., source effects) local site effects. The variability of earthquake distribution is caused by stratigraphic and/or topographic setting buried morphologies (e.g., irregular sub-interface between soft stiff soils) can give rise to amplification resonances with respect expected at reference site. Therefore, conditions affect an area related full collapse or loss in...
Abstract. In 2012, the Emilia-Romagna region (Italy) was struck by a seismic crisis characterized two main shocks (ML 5.9 and 5.8) which triggered relevant liquefaction events. Terre del Reno is one of municipalities that experienced most extensive effects due to its complex geostratigraphic geomorphological setting. This area indeed located in floodplain lenticular fluvial channel bodies associated with crevasse levee clay–sand alternations, related paleo-Reno River. Therefore, it chosen as...
Strain localisation influences the behaviour of sheared soils in a way that assumption continuum loses validity and may become inapplicable. This occurrence affects interpretation triaxial tests where samples are usually considered as representative elements an equivalent phenomenological is carried out to calibrate constitutive models. Considering inherent stress-induced heterogeneity material possible precursor localisation, evolution porosity strain fields studied interpreting with...
This study introduces a generalisation of the classical one-dimensional liquefaction severity indexes to extend their predictive capability for occurrence lateral spreading. After critical overview most used indexes, rationale extension bi-dimensional conditions determined by non-horizontal geomorphology is presented, together with rule achieve generalisation. The efficacy new index demonstrated performance-based on two cases, earthquakes 20 May 2012 (M w 6·1) at Terre del Reno...
Seismic amplifications are dictated by the depth of bedrock and stratigraphy dynamic properties soil deposits. Quantifying these properties, together with their uncertainty, is a necessary task to perform reliable assessment seismic risk at an urban scale. In this paper, multidisciplinary analysis presented, where information different nature combined. Borehole logs, geophysical, geological geotechnical surveys interpreted aid analytical, numerical geostatistical techniques characterise...
Transport networks play a critical role for living communities, as they facilitate the exchange of people and goods foster economic growth. Improving their resilience against seismic hazards, among which liquefaction is by far one most significant complex, consistent with Sustainable Development Goals pinpointed United Nations’ Agenda. In this paper, an original methodological framework, combining innovative Geo-statistical approaches to analyze soil properties, prediction models...
The phenomenon of liquefaction is nowadays sufficiently understood in terms phenomenology and predisposing conditions. However, a better assessment risk necessary to mitigate its effects guide land-use planning choices, particularly the context post-earthquake reconstruction.This evidence comes from some recent events (e.g., New Zealand, 2010-2011; Emilia-Romagna 2012; Palu, 2018), which induced were, instances, considerably more severe than expected. This case Terre del Reno (Emilia-Romagna...
