Assessment of liquefaction potential based on shear wave velocity: Strain energy approach
Liquefaction assessment based on strain energy is significantly superior to conventional stress-based methods. The main purpose of the present study is to investigate the correlation between shear wave velocity and strain energy capacity of silty sands ...

A semi-empirical model to predict excess pore pressure generation in partially saturated sand [PDF]
Past studies revealed that excess pore pressure generation due to cyclic loading is highly governed by induced strains, volumetric deformation potential of soil, number of cycles, and bulk stiffness of pore fluid.

A contact problem aplication for the local behaviour of soil pile interaction [PDF]
In geotechnical engineering, the main parameter for the performance of structures such as reinforced walls or deep foundations is often the shaft bearing capacity.

The Effect of Densification on Pieve di Cento Sands in Cyclic Simple Shear Tests [PDF]
The main aim of this work is to study the effectiveness of densification as a mitigation technique against liquefaction, by means of cyclic simple shear tests carried out on specimens reconstituted at several relative densities. The adopted cyclic simple shear apparatus works with a sophisticated control system, which allows to carry out tests in k0 ...

The effect of quenching and defects size on the HCF behaviour of Boron steel [PDF]
This work investigates the effect of natural and artificial surface defects and quenching on the fatigue strength of a Boron steel (22MnB5). A vast experimental campaign has been undertaken to study the high cycle fatigue behaviour and more specifically ...

Numerical and experimental analysis of the leaning Tower of Pisa under earthquake [PDF]
Twenty years have passed from the most recent studies about the dynamic behavior of the leaning Tower of Pisa. Significant changes have occurred in the meantime, the most important ones concerning the soil-structure interaction.
