Interpretation of Slope Movements Induced by Adjacent Large Landslide in Northern Italy
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The village of Corniglio, in the district of Parma, Northern Apennines (Italy), has been affected for the last 6 years by a huge landslide—currently one of the largest slope movements in Europe—which has caused considerable ...
Liquefaction Mitigation of Silty Sands Using Rammed Aggregate Piers Based on Blast-Induced Liquefaction Testing
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To investigate the liquefaction mitigation capability of rammed aggregate piers (RAP) in silty sand, blast liquefaction testing was performed at a soil profile treated with a full-scale RAP group relative to an untreated ...
Numerical Tool for Prediction of Sand Boil Reactivations near River Embankments
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The article presents a three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model of the groundwater flow beneath a river embankment, aimed at developing a simple and reliable numerical strategy for the identification of hydraulic ...
Comparative Study of CPTU and SDMT in Liquefaction-Prone Silty Sands with Ground Improvement
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Following the 2012 Emilia-Romagna seismic sequence, widespread liquefaction of silty sands was observed, providing the opportunity to enhance our knowledge of the influence of fines content on seismic hazard and mitigation ...
