Abstract: Seismically induced landslides can often cause severe human and economic losses. Therefore, it is worth assessing the seismic performance of slopes through a reliable quantification of the permanent displacements induced ...

Abstract: This paper examines a seismic capacity design approach for retaining structures with piled foundations, which assumes full-strength mobilization in the soil and in the foundation piles during the earthquake. The plastic ...

Abstract: Equally spaced piles can be designed to ensure the stability of a slope with a desired safety factor or to restrain slow slope movements to prevent damage to existing structures. The piles are usually arranged in lines ...

Abstract: Compensation grouting is often employed as a mitigation technique to reduce the settlements induced by tunneling. The efficiency of compensation grouting, defined as the ratio of the volume of heave induced at the ground ...

Abstract: The C Line of the Rome underground underpasses the historical city center, facing significant problems for the presence of archaeological artefacts and the necessity to prevent damage to the historical and monumental ...
