Soil–pile–structure interaction: experimental outcomes from shaking table tests

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental model consisting of an oscillator connected to a single or a group of piles embedded in a bi-layer deposit was used to study the modal dynamic response of the soil-pile-structure system in terms of period elongation and system damping ratio.

Reconnaissance of 2016 Central Italy Earthquake Sequence

TL;DR: The Central Italy earthquake sequence nominally began on 24 August 2016 with a M6.1 event on a normal fault that produced devastating effects in the town of Amatrice and several nearby villages and...

Characterisation of shear wave velocity profiles of non-uniform bi-layer soil deposits: Analytical evaluation and experimental validation

TL;DR: In this paper, a simplified analytical procedure for determining the shear wave velocity profile (Vs) in a single or bi-layer deposit, taking into account the inhomogeneity of the individual soil layers, under the hypothesis of vanishing shear modulus at ground surface, is presented.
