Soil liquefaction analysis represents a fundamental step in geotechnics to define soil behavior under seismic stress. In professional practice, grain size distribution is not merely a classification; it is the physical factor determining if a soil transitions from solid to liquid during an earthquake. Why grain distribution controls soil liquefaction analysis The risk depends directly…
When carrying out the stability analysis of a slope using the well-established software Geostru Slope Stability analysis – Slope, the user has the option of placing a retention structures of his choice : Walls, Piles, Ground Anchor and Reinforced soil. Selecting the latter will open the module Reinforced Earth – MRE. We speak of a…
Application of static penetrometric tests in stratigraphic profile reconstruction Diego Lo Presti,* Claudia Meisina,** Nunziante Squeglia* Cone penetration tests are a well-established in situ test methods for site characterization. Their widespread use for subsurface explorations is due to their reliability, speed, economy and to the fact that they supply continuous records with depths of soil…

Dynamic characterization is a crucial step in designing earthquake-resistant structures. Non-destructive geophysical techniques like MASW are used to predict the shear wave velocity and provide valuable information for site characterization, ground response analysis, and micro zonation mapping. Studies have shown that NEHRP, IBC, and NTC2018 provisions can be used to classify soil profiles based on their shear wave velocities.
