Seismic characterization and reconstruction of reference ground motion at accelerometric sites of the Italian national accelerometric network (RAN)

TL;DR: In this paper, a field procedure that has been extensively used in Italy to characterize local seismic response at accelerometric sites and to retrieve ground motion at reference soil conditions by deconvolution analysis is presented.

Influence of Shear Strain on the Poisson’s Ratio of Clean Sands

TL;DR: In this article, a series of resonant column tests was performed to determine the influence of confining pressure, shear strain and relative density on the dynamic properties and Poisson's ratio of poorly graded clean sand.

Prediction of seismic displacement of dry mountain slopes composed of a soft thin uniform layer

TL;DR: In this article, the earthquake-induced permanent seismic displacement of dry mountain slopes is calculated from a series of two-dimensional dynamic nonlinear finite difference analyses, and the success rate of the model to predict the landslide hazard category ranges from 52 to 88.3%.

Moduli and Damping Factors for Dynamic Analyses of Cohesionless Soils

TL;DR: In this article, a simple relationship is proposed to relate the shear modulus of a cohesionless soil to a modulus stiffness coefficient, which is a soil property and depends on the characteristics of the soil, and the effective mean principal stress at any point in the soil.
