Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics, in addition to their interface with Engineering Seismology, Geophysics and Seismology, have all made outstanding development during the last 15 years, normally as a result of the improvement of instrumented huge scale experimental amenities, to the rise within the volume and caliber of recorded earthquake information, to the varied well-documented case reviews from contemporary powerful earthquakes in addition to more suitable laptop features. one of many significant elements contributing to the aforementioned development is the expanding social want for a secure city surroundings, huge infrastructures and crucial amenities. the most scope of our e-book is to supply the geotechnical engineers, geologists and seismologists, with the newest advances and advancements within the quarter of earthquake geotechnical engineering, seismology and soil dynamics.

37 Pianola site: comparison of shear wave velocity profiles obtained by Down-Hole tests (DPC 2009) and SDMT tests In the Bazzano area, the geological survey detected a sandstone formation locally covered by alluvial deposits (Cavuoto and Moscatelli 2009). The MASW reference vertical is located at the transition between the outcropping sandstone and the alluvial cover; as a matter of fact, the experimental shear wave velocity profile seems to identify shallow bedrock at 8 m (Fig. 38). In this case, however, no borehole was available in the vicinity to confirm this result.
San Franco (NE of L’Aquila, epicentral distance ED = 18 km, I = VI MCS) were re-activated few days after the main shock. Dynamic actions possibly concurred with the prolonged intense rainfall occurred in the days following the main seismic event. In the following sub-sections, only the main ground failures are described. Event descriptions and considerations reported in the following sub-sections have been originally collected during the surveys carried out by the GEER (Geoengineering Extreme Events Reconnaissance) Working Group.
