7th ICEGE
VII International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering
It is a great pleasure and an honour to extend to you a warm welcome to the 7th lnternational
Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering (VII ICEGE) in Roma, Italy, 17-20 June 2019.
After the increasingly successful conferences held in Tokyo 1995, Lisbon 1999, Berkeley 2004,
Thessaloniki 2007, Santiago 2011 and Christchurch 2015, the Italian Geotechnical Society (AGI) on
appointment by the ISSMGE Technical Committee 203 (Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering and
associated problems) is delighted to host in Roma the 7th International Conference on Earthquake
Geotechnical Engineering (VII ICEGE) from 17 to 20 June 2019.
As in the previous editions, the conference topics will address, through general and parallel
sessions, the most recent developments in earthquake geotechnical engineering, stimulating
fruitful technical and scienti ic interaction within the ields of seismology, geophysics, geology,
structural as well as infrastructural engineering.
We believe that VII ICEGE will provide an excellent opportunity to present recent experience
and developments to an audience of engineers, geologists and seismologists, consultants, public
and private contractors, local national and international authorities, and to all those involved in
research and practice related to earthquake geotechnical engineering.
Last but not least, the ‘Eternal City’ of Roma is one of the most attractive and emblematic locations
in the world, thanks to its impressive cultural heritage, the pleasant weather and its extraordinary
social life, not to mention the taste of the Italian food.
The Eternal City will offer you a wonderful journey through Science and History!

Summarizing geotechnical activities after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake of Japan
I.Towhata
After the 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan, I as the Vice President and then as the President
of the Japanese Geotechnical Society took initiatives in damage reconnaissance, developing new
safety criterion for liquefaction-prone residential areas, quantitative evaluation of ageing effects
on liquefaction resistance of sand, investigation on damage mechanism of river levees, recovery
from the tsunami incidence of Fukushima No.1 Nuclear Power Plant and ground improvement in
existing residential area. Some of them were conducted urgently within several months after the
earthquake, while others encountered many dif iculties from the viewpoint of public agreement.
This paper summarizes the post-earthquake activities of geotechnical engineering in restoration
of the community.

IN MEMORY OF MICHELE MAUGERI
7ICEGE wishes to honour the memory of Michele Maugeri, full Professor of Geotechnical Engineering
at the University of Catania, Italy. As a teacher, researcher, professional engineer and a member of
the Board of Public Works (CSLLPP), he devoted himself to a number of different ields in the realm
of Geotechnical Engineering, in particular Soil Dynamics, Seismic Hazard Zonation, Performance-
Based Design and Geosynthetics. Tenacity, passion, a deep respect for people, and an inexhaustible
intellectual curiosity inspired his career as well as his entire life. This was the spirit that always
drew him to continuously discuss his ideas with his colleagues and friends, and to participate in
a number of National and International Conferences where he delivered innumerable keynote
lectures. In October 2014, the Italian Geotechnical Society made him honorary member of AGI,
acknowledging his outstanding role in the dissemination of geotechnical culture, that culminated
in his Chairmanship of the very successful 2nd International Conference on “Performance-Based
Design in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering” of TC203, held in Taormina in 2012.

Seismic performance of caisson and multi-block gravity quaywalls

G. Gazetas
Caisson and multi-block quay-walls have suffered disproportionately large damage during strong
and moderate seismic shaking. Motivated by the failures of such caisson type walls in the Kobe
1995 earthquake, and the severe damage of a of multi-block walls in the Le kada 2003, Cephalonia
2014, and Kos 2017 earthquakes, the lecture will irst outline the key features of their seismic
response of gravity walls supporting dry and saturated soil. Finite-element and inite-difference
codes will then be utilised along with several constitutive soil laws, including a modi ied
plasticity Pastor-Zienkiewicz law, modelling the cyclic behavior of the sandy gravel. Effective-
stress dynamic analyses are performed of the Rokko island quay walls that suffered in the Kobe
earthquake, using recorded relevant accelerograms as excitation. The evolution during shaking of
lateral displacements, excess pore-water pressures, and plastic strains is presented. A number of
simultaneously occurring phenomena are elucidated: (i) the development of oscillatory inertial
forces on the wall, in-phase or out-of-phase with the back ill-soil and pore-water pressures; (ii)
the simple-shear seismic deformation of the soil and the ensuing initial development of positive
excess pore-water pressures in the back ill and the foundation soil; (iii) the extensional (due to
seaward movement) deformation developing in the “active wedge”, with the ensuing generation
of negative excess pore water pressures; and (iv) the continuous dissipation and redistribution of
water pressures. Extensive comparisons are made between numerical analyses and performance
observed in the aftermath of the aforementioned earthquakes. A second case history analysed
refers to a concrete-block gravity wall that performed poorly in the Le kada 2003 earthquake. It
is concluded that caisson and block walls have qualitatively at least similar behaviour, despite the
occurrence of some block-to-block sliding in the latter category.

Structure-soil-structure interaction in changing urban areas
J.A. Knappett, S. Qi, A. Mubarak & M. Licciardello, P. Madden, K. Caucis, K. Bailey, E. Ukatu, G. Kampas
Widespread damage within urban centres has highlighted the need to better understand seismic
structure-soil-structure interaction (SSSI), particularly given population growth and increasing
urbanisation. This paper will explore the performance of low-rise structures when the presence
of adjacent structures is explicitly accounted for, based on centrifuge model tests and validated
Finite Element analysis. The sensitivity of SSSI to pre-earthquake initial conditions (particularly
tilt of foundations) and subsequent evolution of these due to successive earthquakes will be
demonstrated, along with sensitivity to the relative dynamic characteristics of the adjacent
structures (e.g. changing the urban environment to address urbanisation). Sensitivity to
position within a larger group of adjacent structures will also be investigated along with the
subsequent impact of building underground infrastructure for urban mass-transit systems. The
results presented will demonstrate the importance of accurately describing and modelling the
surrounding urban environment in soil-structure interaction analyses, in order to understand the
future in luence of increasing urbanisation on seismic hazard within populous areas.

Foundation–structure systems subjected to faulting-induced deformation: numerical and physical

modelling, design methods, mitigation techniques
I. Anastasopoulos, A. Agalianos
In a seismic event, the rupturing fault generates two types of ground displacement: permanent
quasi–static tectonic deformation (faulting) and transient dynamic oscillations (shaking). While
shaking typically affects large areas, faulting is crucial only when the fault rupture outcrops at
the ground surface. Understandably, therefore, earthquake engineering had focused on the design
against seismic shaking, with much less effort devoted to the effects of faulting. This led to a lack
of knowledge, due to which seismic codes had in the past invariably demanded that “buildings and
important structures shall not be erected in the immediate vicinity of active faults”. However, such
a strict prohibition is dif icult (and sometimes meaningless) to obey, especially for long structures,
such as bridges and tunnels. Modern seismic codes are beginning to allow building in the vicinity
of active faults, but only after a special study is conducted. Motivated by the importance of the
problem for countries of high seismicity, and the numerous failures and successes of structures
built directly on the fault during the 1999 Kocaeli and Chi-Chi earthquakes, substantial research
effort has been devoted to bridge the apparent gap of knowledge. Combining ield reconnaissance,
physical modelling, and numerical simulation, a thoroughly validated methodology for the
design of foundation–structure systems against tec-tonic deformation has been developed. The
paper presents some of the key aspects of numerical and physical modelling, deriving insights
on the interaction of shallow and embedded foundations with an emerging fault rupture, and
demonstrating the successful validation of the developed numerical models against centrifuge
model tests. Subsequently, the development of simpli ied design methods are presented. Filling
a gap in engineering practice, these methods have been successfully applied to several bridges,
tunnels, and buildings. Finally, some ideas on novel mitigation techniques employing sacri icial
members are brie ly presented.

Next generation reduced order models for soil-structure interaction

D. Asimaki, J. Garcia-Suarez, D. Kusanovic, K. Nguyen, E. Esmaeilzadeh Seylabi
A number of published solutions have been dedicated to problems of dynamic soil-structure
interaction (SSI) for geotechnical infrastructure over the past 50 years. Some have been formulated
using idealized models with a number of severe assumptions based on physical intuition. Others
have been developed by itting large-scale experimental results or backcalculated from ield
measurements. Their simpli ied formulation and wide use notwithstanding, reliable predictions
of such models are guaranteed so long as the geometry, material properties and loading conditions
of the problems at hand match the reference con igurations. Over the past decade, we have
worked on developing SSI reduced order models (ROMs) based on rigorous mechanics, intended
to expand the range of their applicability to conditions outside the range of numerical and physical
experiments used to formulate them. In this paper, we present three examples: a framework based
on small parameters, energy and momentum balance to resolve soil-structure on rigid retaining
walls; a two-dimensional linear ROM for transient analysis of (nonlinear) buildings on mat
foundations in a homogeneous half-space; and a two-dimensional nonlinear ROM for the transient
analysis of pipeline systems subjected to transient ground deformation. We will speci ically
highlight the physics of each problem as revealed by formalized mechanics solutions and high-
idelity simulations; present reduced order models that capture salient aspects of the physics; and
show comparisons of our model predictions to state-of-the art methodologies.

geotechnical earthquake engineering applications. The deposit of Fraser River Delta silt examined
herein is a normally consolidated to lightly over-consolidated, low-plasticity silt (ML) with a
plasticity index of about 4. Monotonic and cyclic undrained direct simple shear (DSS) tests were
performed on normally consolidated, thin-walled tube samples. Calibration of the PM4Silt model
was based on the monotonic and cyclic DSS test data, in-situ shear wave velocity measurements,
and empirical relationships for strain-dependent secant shear moduli and equivalent damping
ratios. The calibration process is described, and three alternative calibrations of the model are
developed to illustrate the effect of emphasizing different behaviors during calibration. The
results illustrate that PM4Silt is capable of reasonably approximating a range of monotonic and
cyclic loading behaviors important to many earthquake engineering applications and is relatively
easy to calibrate.

On the seismic design of displacing earth retaining systems

L. Callisto
Although the actual seismic behaviour of earth retaining structures is a complex soil-structure
interaction phenomenon, in the engineering practice these systems are designed with
unsophisticated tools. It is then essential to develop design methods that on the one hand are
based on the recent concepts of seismic performance and capacity design, and on the other hand
are simple enough to be readily implementable in real projects. This paper contributes to the
development of a new design strategy: it shows that the gradual mobilisation of the resistance
of the system, from the initial static condition to the development of a plastic mechanism, can
be expressed through a well-de ined capacity curve, and that this curve can be used to predict
the seismic performance of the system, in terms of residual displacements and maximum
internal forces in the structural members. This has important implications, because the essential
ingredients of the capacity curve can be derived with a simple analysis of the plastic mechanism,
making the proposed approach either directly applicable in a displacement-based design method,
or functional to the development of equivalent force-based design approaches.

Uncertainties and variabilities in seismic ground response analyses

S. Foti, F. Passeri, A. Rodriguez-Marek
Ground response analyses (GRAs) represent a key element for the non-ergodic (site-speci ic)
evaluation of the seismic hazard. In this respect, epistemic uncertainties and aleatory variabilities
need to be properly identi ied, quanti ied, and managed to obtain consistent estimates. Several
collaborative efforts have been carried out in recent years to assess the in luence of uncertainties
and variabilities in the GRA parameters through benchmark studies. Speci ically for site
characterization, efforts are required to guarantee a suf icient quality of in situ and laboratory
tests. However, benchmark tests have shown the existence of a certain level of “uncompressible
uncertainty”. Stochastic models implemented in GRAs are therefore required to evaluate the
impact of uncertainties and variabilities on the computed seismic hazard. Such models are to be
based on large databases of experimental data to produce consistent estimates. Examples will
be provided with a speci ic focus on geophysical tests for the evaluation of shear wave velocity
models, which are likely the most in luent parameters in GRAs.

Modeling of soil-structure interaction for reinforced breakwater foundation subjected to

H. Hazarika, B. Chaudhary, A. Nozu, E. Kohama, K. Suzuki, A. Murakami, K. Fujisawa
This paper describes the soil-structure interaction behavior of a new reinforcing technique for
breakwater foundation against earthquake and tsunami induced damage. The technique involves
the use of gabion on the top of rubble mound, reinforcing the foundation soil with steel sheet piles,
and the use of sealing material between the sheet piles and breakwater. The effectiveness of the
proposed technique and the soil structure interaction during earthquake and tsunami loading
were evaluated through physical and numerical modeling. As part of the physical modeling for
such soil-structure interaction problem, a series of 1g shaking table tests and centrifuge model
tests were performed. In addition, a hydraulic model testing apparatus was developed, which can
simulate the soil-structure interaction during tsunami over low, the resulting seepage as well as the
scouring. Numerical simulation was also performed for evaluating the effect of tsunami over low.
Soil-structure interaction behaviors were made clear through comparisons of conventional
foundation and reinforced foundation models.

Lateral and seismic responses of composite caisson-pile foundations

Maosong Huang, Xiaoqiang Gu, Wenbo Tu, Chenrong Zhang, Rui Zhong
The composite caisson-pile foundation (CCPF) is proposed as the foundation of the highway channel
across Qiongzhou Strait in China. A simpli ied method using a four-spring dynamic Winkler model
is developed to evaluate the lateral response of CCPF and the coef icients of the Winkler model are
determined based on a modi ied embedded footing impedance. To analyze the seismic response
of the foundation-structure, a simpli ied model is established, in which the structure is simpli ied
as a lumped mass connected to the foundation with an elastic column. The seismic response of
CCPF is analyzed by the proposed simpli ied method and the results are veri ied by 3D dynamic
inite element simulations. It is found that adding piles under the caisson is an ef icient measure
to increase the capability of the soil-foundation-structure system subjected to seismic loading.
Moreover, dynamic centrifuge tests are also carried out to study the seismic response of CCPF. The
test results indicate that for soil with low stiffness adding piles under the caisson can effectively
decrease the seismic responses of the foundation and the structure.

The evaluation of seismic behavior of structure considering soil-foundation-structure interaction
(SFSI) has emerged as an important area of research for effective seismic design. In order to
investigate SFSI problems, it could be advantageous to perform the centrifuge tests owing to not
only simulating the soil-foundation-structure system easily, but also observing the large-strain,
non-linear behavior at in-situ stress conditions. In this study, the effectiveness of the centrifuge
tests for the SFSI problems is validated and its application to the SFSI problems is studied by
focusing on seismic response of the structure on the disconnected piled raft (DPR) and the dynamic
bending moment of the DPR.

Multiple occurrence of sand liquefaction has been reported in the past case histories worldwide,
including those on the 2010-2011 Christchurch Earthquakes in New Zealand and the 2011 Off the
Paci ic Coast of Tohoku Earthquake in Japan. In order to reveal the multiple-liquefaction behavior,
a series of 1-g shaking table tests on level ground and another series of cyclic stacked-ring shear
tests on hollow cylindrical specimen with/without initial static shear are conducted. It is observed
that, though overall densi ication is observed in the two types of tests, the re-liquefaction resistance
could either increase or decrease by the liquefaction history. The response during the current
liquefaction stage is more predominantly affected by the immediate-past liquefaction history than

The use of numerical analysis in the interpretation of liquefaction case histories

S.L. Kramer, M.W. Green ield
The development of improved, validated constitutive models for lique iable soils, and their
implementation into nonlinear, effective stress ground response analyses, can be used to
bene icially augment the interpretation of liquefaction triggering case histories. The availability
of subsurface data, collected either before or after an earthquake that causes liquefaction, allows
the development of site models that can help identify the critical layer(s) and understand the
interaction of various soil layers that control the system response of the soil pro ile. The bene its
of such analyses depend on the ability of the numerical analysis to capture important elements
of lique iable soil behavior, and on the ability to approximate the input motions that produce the
observed liquefaction. The main issues involved in these analyses are discussed and the use and

The Member States enquiry about Eurocode 8 Part 5, the geotechnical part of Eurocode 8, clearly
pointed out some de iciencies and lacks in the present version of the code. One of the main criticisms
was the overconservatism introduced in the code by the pseudo–static approach. The ongoing
revision aims at providing more practical and easier to use recommendations and design rules but
also at reducing this conservatism. The intent of the revision is to give consideration to this aspect
by attributing more importance to a displacement–based approach rather than to a force–based
approach. Displacement checks for de ining the dynamic failure of geotechnical structures like
foundations, retaining structures, slopes, underground structures will be introduced in the revised
document. These criteria will be tentatively dependent on the limit states to check: signi icant
damage (SD), near collapse (NC) and damage limitation (DL) to move towards performance–
based–design. All these topics are presently under discussion within the project team in charge

Vulnerability assessment of buildings exposed to seismically-induced landslides, liquefaction and

tsunamis
K. Pitilakis, S. Fotopoulou, S. Karafagka
There is an increasing requirement for effective evaluation, management and mitigation of the
seismic risk of buildings and infrastructures considering not only the seismic ground shaking
itself but also some of the most destructive collateral hazards associated with earthquakes,
namely landslides, liquefaction and tsunami. In this respect an analytical vulnerability assessment
methodology is proposed for buildings subjected to earthquake induced phenomena like landslides,
liquefaction and tsunamis. The methodology is based on the use of nonlinear static analyses
of representative structural typologies of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. The proposed
methodology results in the development of probabilistic fragility curves and vulnerability indices
as function of the permanent ground displacement or the maximum ground acceleration for the
landslide hazard, the differential displacements for the liquefaction hazard while the inundation
depth is selected as intensity measure for the tsunami case. The proposed fragility functions
could be used within a probabilistic risk assessment framework to assess the vulnerability of RC
buildings exposed to different seismically induced hazards.

Probabilistic assessment of the earthquake-induced displacements of a slope using inite element

analysis
E.M. Rathje, Y. Cho
Predicting the earthquake-induced permanent displacements of a slope involves signi icant
variabilities, particularly due to the variability in the characteristics of the input ground motions. A
probabilistic approach that computes a displacement hazard curve can incorporate the variabilities
associated with this analysis, such that a rational assessment of the performance of the slope can
be obtained. However, to date, only displacements estimated from sliding block analyses have been
used to compute probabilistic displacement hazard curves, despite the fact that nonlinear inite
element analysis is becoming the preferred method to evaluate the performance of slopes. This
paper extends the probabilistic approach for use with displacements from inite element analyses.
We develop slope-speci ic displacement prediction models using displacements computed by
nonlinear inite element analyses. Various models are developed that utilize different ground
motion intensity measures in an effort to identify the most statistically ef icient models. Finally,
sliding displacement hazard curves are generated for the slope using the developed predictive
models and the ground motion hazard at a site in Northern California.

Applications of non-ergodic site response in ground motion modeling

J.P. Stewart, P. Wang, D.P. Teague , A. Vecchietti
Site-speci ic (non-ergodic) seismic hazard analysis is increasingly being employed as part of ground
motion hazard characterization for critical projects. Non-ergodic site response can be evaluated
from the interpretation of ground motions recorded at (or near) the site or from simulations.
The simulation method that is most frequently employed is ground response analysis, which
can capture impedance, resonance, and nonlinear effects for vertically propagating shear waves.
Such effects are often large contributors to site response, but are not sole contributors, as other
effects related to basin geometry can also be in luential, particularly at long oscillator periods. We
review procedures for conducting ground motion hazard analysis using non-ergodic site response
models, including aleatory variability and epistemic uncertainty. We describe preliminary new
work related to spatial correlation of site response that is important for some applications. The
challenges and bene its of applying these procedures are illustrated through case histories in
California, Italy, and Japan.

Modelling liquefaction effects – From lateral spreading to soil-structure interaction

P. Arduino, A. Ghofrani
Soil liquefaction induced by earthquakes can cause significant damage to adjacent structures
and lead to considerable economic loss. The mechanism and effects of soil liquefaction have
been studied extensively throughout the years. With the development of computational tools and
advanced constitutive models which can capture complex soil behavior under various loading and
drainage conditions, numerical modelling has become popular for predicting liquefaction induced
ground failure, deformations, and effects induced by this phenomenon. This is particularly true
for Soil Structure Interaction (SSI) problems where the interaction between the lique ied soil
and pile foundations is highly nonlinear and inherently complex in nature. In this paper, we
examine important considerations that must be taken into account when numerically evaluating
soil structure interaction effects due to liquefaction including the capabilities of the constitutive
model, boundary conditions, solution strategies and soil-pile interface representation.

due to the excess pore water pressure was proposed and formulas of corrective coef icients were

Physics-informed and semi-empirical probabilistic models for structure’s average and differential
settlement on lique iable ground with extensions to regional analysis
Z. Bulloc, S. Dashti, A. B. Lie1, K. Porter, K. W. Franke & Z. Karimi
Effective liquefaction mitigation requires an improved understanding of the consequences of
liquefaction on structures. The state of practice typically involves estimating building settlement
using empirical procedures for free- ield conditions, which have been shown to be unreliable. Other
recently-developed approaches tend to separate various mechanisms of deformation, rendering
quanti ication of total model uncertainty dif icult or impossible. Further, there are no widely-
accepted probabilistic models for predicting differential settlement of shallow-founded structures
on potentially lique iable ground. To address these gaps, irst, a series of centrifuge experiments
were performed to evaluate the dominant mechanisms of deformation near shallow-founded
structures. Second, experimental results were used to evaluate the predictive capabilities of 3D,
fully-coupled, inite element analyses of soil-foundation-structure systems in OpenSees. Third, a
numerical parametric study (with more than 63,000 3D simulations) was conducted to identify the
most optimum Intensity Measures for permanent average and differential settlement below the
structure as well as the functional form of predictive models. And inally, a case history database
helped validate and re ine the models, accounting for ield complexities and heterogeneities as well
as all mechanisms of deformation not captured numerically nor experimentally. This integrative
approach yielded a set of procedures that are the irst to consider variations in soil layering
and geometry, key foundation and structure properties (in 3D), contribution of all deformation
mechanisms, and total inherent model uncertainties. These procedures use detailed information
regarding the soil pro ile as inputs. In order to allow their implementation at the regional scale,
additional models were developed to tie these procedures to existing methods of mapping the
liquefaction hazard. These models were based on random ield generation of synthetic borehole
data, which were validated using real observations of borehole data from New Zealand and
California. The resulting models allow for probabilistic estimation of liquefaction consequences at
the individual building- or at the regional portfolio-level scales.

moves around the piles in the downslope direction. The associated shear-induced tendency for
dilation increases the effective con inement and reduces the resulting downslope deformations.
As such, a parametric FE study is undertaken to investigate the effect of soil permeability on this
observed liquefaction-induced lateral response. As the prescribed soil permeability increased (in
the silt–sand range), higher levels of ground lateral deformation occurred, albeit with a lower pile
head displacement and lateral load. Eventually, high permeability (in the gravels range) precluded
the accumulation of signi icant excess pore pressure, with low levels of both soil and pile lateral
displacement. On this basis, permeability is highlighted as a critical potentially primary parameter
in dictating the effects of liquefaction-induced lateral load on embedded foundation systems..

Performance of Ordinary and Geosynthetic Encased Stone Columns as seismic reinforcement of

soft clayey soils
E. Guler, C. Cengiz
The Geotextile Encased Columns (GEC) foundation system for embankments on soft or problematic
soils was introduced in 1990s. The GECs consist of compacted granular ill similar to common
stone columns with one decisive difference: they are con ined in a high strength woven geotextile
“cylinder” (encasement). Consequently, they work properly even in extremely soft soils since the
GEC’s help to prevent the bulging failure. The risk of bulging is even higher under seismic loads.
Vast amount of numerical, analytical and experimental research has been done to study different
aspects of the GEC’s behavior. Despite these available literatures from several researchers, there
is very little study, numerically or experimentally, about the seismic behavior of GECs. To analyze
the effect of earthquake on stone columns and to determine how the presence of GEC improves the
soil behavior, Shaking Table tests have been conducted. With the help of these tests, it was shown
that geosynthetic encasement of stone columns improves the system in several aspects under
earthquake loading conditions.

Site characterization of strong motion stations based on borehole and surface geophysical
techniques
H. Kawase
Proper evaluation of the site characteristics is indispensable for a quantitative strong motion
prediction and seismic hazard assessment. An empirical prediction of strong motions that
implements techniques such as GMPE modeling requires the relationship between the S-wave
velocity of the ground and site ampli ication factors. For theoretical predictions we need to use
the entire S-wave velocity structure below the target site. Historically, the surface geology of the
1923 Kanto earthquake was found to have a strong effect on seismic motions, which promoted
investigations to quantify site ampli ication factors due to soft sediments. The 1985 Mexico
earthquake showed strong long-period ampli ication inside Mexico City. After a brief historical
review, the progress on the velocity structure inversion based on observed ground motion spectra
is reported. Using the diffuse ield concept, the site ampli ication factors can be estimated directly
from observed data, either from earthquakes or microtremors. Furthermore, key points learned
from successful evaluation of site characterization are presented.

Physical modelling of dynamic soil-foundation-structure interaction

S.P.G. Madabhushi
While the early engineering practice has largely considered that the soil-structure interaction
has bene icial effects and ignoring it will lead to a larger than expected factor of safety, it is
now recognised that such interaction can also be detrimental under certain circumstances. It
is therefore important to investigate and understand the SSI effects carefully. From a city scale
point of view, where close clusters of buildings are expected the structure-soil-structure (SSSI)
interaction is important. In geotechnical earthquake engineering the investigation of SSI and SSSI
effects needs high quality data so that reliable analytical or numerical modelling can be attempted.
Dynamic centrifuge modelling offers an excellent opportunity to study such effects. In this theme
lecture, the recent advances in physical modelling of dynamic soil structure interaction effects will
be emphasised. Research carried out on structures itted with Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) and
viscous dampers will be presented. Rocking of structures and the ensuing SSI will be considered.
Finally, the kinematic and inertial interactions between pile foundation and surrounding soil will

Constitutive relations used to describe the stress-strain-strength behavior of soils in cyclic loading
are known to play a critical role on our ability to predict the response of geo-structures to seismic
loading. The extent and intricacies of this role, however, are highly problem-dependent and often
dif icult to discern from the effects of other ingredients of a numerical simulation. Moreover,
realistic assessments of constitutive models and numerical analysis techniques require detailed
comparisons of their performances with reliable experimental observations. The experimental
data that have been produced in the course of recent Liquefaction Experiments and Analysis
Projects (LEAP-2015 and LEAP-2017) provide an opportunity for a more thorough assessment of
the capabilities and limitations of constitutive models for sands over a wide range of strains. The
LEAP experimental data along with a large number of cyclic element tests are used here to explore
the performance of several constitutive models in numerical simulation of soil liquefaction and its

Effectiveness of vertical drains to prevent occurrence of liquefaction and settlement

M. Okamura, U. S. Minaka, K. Ono
Vertical drains have been extensively used as a liquefaction countermeasure and seismic case
histories have demonstrated the effectiveness of these technique. However, it has often been
observed that excessive settlement and deformation of the ground occurred even though excess
pore water pressure was expected to dissipate and be kept low by the technique. Uncertainties and
questions remain regarding the use of these technique as liquefaction remediation. In this study, a
series of centrifuge tests were conducted to promote better understanding of the performance of
sand remediated with gravel drains. The effects of drain diameter/spacing ratio, and permeability
and depth of lique iable layer were systematically investigated. Excess pore pressures observed
in the tests are also compared with those predicted with the Seed and Booker’s design procedure.
It is con irmed that the use of a constant mv value over the depth in the current design procedure
makes the design somewhat unsafe.

Field and laboratory assessment of liquefaction potential of crushable volcanic soils

R.P. Orense, M.S. Asadi, M.B. Asadi & M.J. Pender, M.E. Stringer
Pumice-rich soils originating from volcanic eruptions are deposited in various parts of the world,
such as in the central part of North Island, NZ. Since they are often encountered in engineering
projects, their geotechnical characterisation is very important. Due to the highly crushable
nature of pumice sands, there are concerns on the applicability of current empirical correlations,
derived primarily from hard-grained sands, to pumice-rich soils. To understand their liquefaction
characteristics, undisturbed soil samples were obtained from various pumice-rich sites in North
Island using diverse sampling techniques. The samples were tested in the laboratory using cyclic
triaxial apparatus and bender elements. At the same time, various ield tests, such as CPT and Vs
pro iling, were conducted at the same sampling sites. The results clearly showed that crushable
volcanic soils do not it existing frameworks for liquefaction assessment and alternate methods
are necessary to characterise them.

Earth dams: damage mechanisms and limit states in seismic conditions

L. Pagano, C. Russo, S. Sica, R. M. Costigliola
The paper summarizes the main damage mechanisms suffered by earth dams under both strong
earthquakes and normal operation to identify the limit states that should be taken into account for
dam seismic safety assessment. In addressing limit states, a distinction is made between seismic
and post-seismic stages. The limit state of global instability under the effects of inertial loads is
considered both in the seismic stage, taking into account the favourable contributions of ground
motion asynchronism and during the post-seismic stages, when excess pore water pressures

induced by seismic shaking and by a possible rapid drawdown could affect dam behaviour. The limit
state of dam freeboard loss is then dealt with, showing the importance of estimating settlement
rates during the seismic and post-seismic stages. Third, the limit state of water-tightness loss is
discussed with reference to seismic-induced strain concentration or stress changes. Finally, the
risk of liquefaction within the embankment or in the foundation is considered, discussing how
the phenomenon could be affected by changes in particle grading possibly experienced by coarse-
grained materials during normal operation of the dam

An engineering perspective on topography and valley effects on seismic ground motion

A. G. Papadimitriou
Seismic codes still do not explicitly consider (surface) topography and valley (morphology)
effects on seismic ground motion. Attempting to study numerically these complex effects from
an engineering point of view, this paper employs idealizations for the governing seismological,
geomorphological and geotechnical characteristics aiming at the quanti ication of the peak
aggravation (in the horizontal and the parasitic vertical accelerations), as well as its spatial
variability in the vicinity of 2D hills, slopes and canyons. The same perspective is then employed
for studying the seismic response of valleys via a critique on EC8 design spectra in terms of 1D
and 2D analyses, with emphasis on ground type D that corresponds to deep and soft deposits
(typical in alluvial valleys). It underlines the need for decoupling (1D) soil effects from valley
effects, with the latter primarily affecting the high frequency components of the motion. It then
proceeds to depicting the prominent parameters that govern valley effects and to quantifying
soil inhomogeneity effects on the aggravation of seismic ground motion. The paper ends with
a discussion on when topographic reliefs and alluvial valleys interact in terms of seismic wave
propagation thus disallowing their separate consideration.

Insights from advanced numerical modelling into the pseudo-static design of gravity retaining
walls
M.J. Pender, A. Kamalzadeh
Results of numerical modelling of gravity retaining walls using the OpenSees inite element
facilities are presented. Simpli ied design analyses for gravity walls are often based on pseudo-
static modelling. The purpose of the paper is to check on the validity of the pseudo-static approach
by calculating, using results from nonlinear time history analyses, the accumulation of permanent
displacements during the course of dynamic excitation. The walls are founded on dense dry
sand and back illed with dense or medium dry sand. The sand is modelled using the Manzari
and Defalias constitutive relationship available in OpenSees. Two con igurations of a moderately
stiff reinforced concrete cantilever gravity retaining wall are investigated. The results of varying
the foundation heel and toe projections are presented. Ricker wavelets applied at the base of the
foundation layer are used for the dynamic response rather than earthquake time histories. It is
concluded that when the walls are subject to horizontal accelerations equivalent to the pseudo-
static acceleration at which permanent displacements are initiated, the residual displacements
from OpenSees are modest and likely to be regarded as indicative of satisfactory performance.
Results from the application of repeated Ricker wavelet excitation are also presented.

Characterization of loess deposits relevant to seismic landslides, liquefaction and seismic

subsidence
L. Wang, X. Pu, J. Chen
Loess is a kind of special soil with porous structure and weak cohesion, which widely deposits in
China with an area of 640,000 km2. Especially, it deposits in the Loess Plateau in China with an
area of 440,000km2 and a thickness ranging from tens meters to more than 500 meters, where
is a region with the biggest thickness and the most complicated topography of loess deposit in
the globe. On the other hand, the Loess Plateau is a strong earthquake-prone region, where 20
events of Ms=7.0-7.9 and 7 events of Ms≥8.0 occurred in history. These earthquakes killed more
than 1.4 million people in the region. The ield investigation shown that a large scale of landslides,
liquefaction and seismic subsidence should be responsible for so large casualties. In this paper,
the authors characterized loess deposits relevant to seismic landslides, liquefaction and seismic
subsidence with its stratum age, topography, microstructure, gradation, physical parameters and
dynamic parameters.

Seismically induced failure of rock slopes: insights from ield observations and analytical modeling
J. Wartman, M. Gibson, A. Grant, L. Arnold, C. Massey, M. Olsen, M. McLaughlin, D. Keefer
Seismically-induced rock slope failures have caused the deaths of tens-of-thousands of people
and economic losses in the billions over the last century. This paper presents insights on rock
slope behavior in earthquakes both from ield reconnaissance missions and analytical modeling.
In the irst part of the paper, a detailed case study is presented for the 2010–2011 Canterbury
earthquakes, which triggered in thousands of landslides in the populated Port Hills region
of Christchurch resulting in both human and capital losses. Data is presented on rock slope
performance and the impact of co-seismic rockfall on buildings. In the second part of this article
discusses a straightforward, yet powerful, two-dimensional single block framework to assess the
co-seismic mode of failure (sliding, toppling, slumping) and yield acceleration equations for rock
blocks. Noteworthy is that complexly shaped blocks can be evaluated knowing just their centers
of mass and contact points with supporting fractures.

Observations on the response of natural ine-grained soils with respect to particle fabric
D. Wijewickreme, A. Soysa, P. Verma
Fine-grained silty soils with high levels of saturation are commonly found in natural river deposits,
and experience from recent earthquakes suggests that such soils have the potential for earthquake-
induced softening and strength reduction. In spite of signi icant research, only limited work has
been undertaken to study the effects of soil particle fabric/microstructure on the mechanical
behavior of natural silts. With this background, a systematic laboratory program involving
monotonic and cyclic shear tests conducted on natural ine-grained soils was undertaken, and the

results from this work are drawn to illustrate the importance of soil particle fabric/microstructure
in governing the response of silt in addition to the traditionally considered effects from the void
ratio (density) and con ining stress. The void ratio (density) and particle fabric seem to compete
in governing the mechanical performance (e.g., shear stiffness and strength), and the lack of
accounting for soil particle fabric seem to impede comprehensive de inition of soil behavior.

Assembly, coordination and deployment of teams with diverse expertise to locations of earthquakes
so that perishable data can be observed and collected is a critical activity. It forms the basis of
both understanding the immediate consequences of major events, as well as the critical data,
upon which follow-on fundamental research studies are built. Of critical signi icance is that the
collected data can be described as assumption-free evidence of the geotechnical consequences
of earthquakes. This is in contrast to physical experiments or numerical simulations, which
inevitably involve spatial and/or temporal scaling of real systems and/or the imposed ground
motions that they are subjected to. While ultimately well validated experiments and simulations
are an equally important component of research studies, being able to capture, with high- idelity,
the evidence of how catastrophic earthquakes affect environment, buildings and infrastructure
systems is a catalyst for fundamental insight and true technical advances. Further, undertaking
such post-event reconnaissance activities leads to advances in the technologies and methods to
capture unique datasets. This session is convened by the current Chair of GEER, Prof. David Frost,
and includes a theme lecture by Prof. Jonathan Bray (past GEER Chair), describing reconnaissance

Earthquake geotechnical engineering reconnaissance methods and advances

J.D. Bray, J.D. Frost, E.M. Rathje, F.E. Garcia
Earthquake geotechnical engineering is an experience-driven discipline. Field observations are
particularly important, because it is dif icult to replicate in the laboratory the characteristics and
response of in situ soil deposits. Many of the currently employed procedures utilized to evaluate
earthquake hazards,such as liquefaction-induced ground failure and its effects on building and
buried utilities performance, are empirically based. Design procedures are not used by engineers
until they have been shown to capture the seismic performance observed in the ield. Thus,
welldocumented ield case histories that describe both poor and good performance during
earthquakes are critical to advancing the profession. These earthquake geotechnical engineering
design procedures require continual re-evaluation and revision as important case histories
emerge. Much of the data generated by a major earthquake is perishable, so it is critical that it is
collected soon after an event occurs. Detailed mapping and surveying of damaged and undamaged
areas provides the data for the well-documented case histories that drive the development of
many of the earthquake geotechnical engineering design procedures. New technologies are being
employed to capture earthquake-induced ground deformation and its effects. These technologies
include Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR), Structure-from-Motion (SfM), and Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle (UAV). Post-earthquake reconnaissance has moved beyond taking photographs and ield
notes to taking advantage of technologies that can capture ground and structure deformations
more completely and accurately. Moreover, electronic data enables effective sharing and archiving
of the measurements. New unanticipated observations from major events often de ine new
research directions. As an example, recent studies of liquefaction of soils with a signi icant
amount of ines have been largely motivated by observations documented by post-earthquake
reconnaissance efforts. Important advancements are possible through research of geotechnical
effects of earthquakes if their effects are captured and shared effectively. An overview of some
of these recent integrated technology deployments and their role at the core of earthquake
disaster analysis are presented. Examples of some of the advancements in the ield of earthquake
geotechnical engineering which are built upon well-documented ield case histories developed
through post-earthquake reconnaissance efforts are shared.

A Mw7.4 earthquake shocked the area of Palu, in the island of Sulawesi (Indonesia), on September
28, 2018. Consequences of this earthquake and of the related tsunami were exorbitantly devastating
and threatening, with a total number of estimated casualties of more than 3000. Large expanses
of lands, about 1 km wide and 3 km maximum in length, moved downhill through a distance of
more than 500 m maximum, at four locations. The slope was as gentle as 1/100-3/100. It was
apparent that this calamity was brought about by the extensive occurence of liquefaction and low
slides that followed. In recognition of seriousness of this disaster, both Japanese International
Cooperation Agency (JICA) and Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance (GEER), with
the support of the Indonesian Society for Geotechnical Engineering (HATTI), sent experts for
reconnaissance to investigate and evaluate the mechanism of the disaster, which will be re lected
in the forthcoming reconstruction and space-use plan. Representatives of the three associations

In recent years, different kinds of large-scale facilities have been designed in most hazardous
countries, in order to carry out ield tests for evaluating and simulating the performance of
soils, foundations and other geotechnical structures during earthquakes at the prototype scale.
In contrast to laboratory and model tests, full-scale testing can account for the effects of large
soil volumes, inherent inhomogeneity and natural state, as well as a number of micro-structural
factors, which are known to be important for seismic response, liquefaction and soil-foundation-
structure interaction. On the other hand, the dynamic sources are hardly representative of all the
complex features of actual earthquake loads.The most widespread large-scale testing technique
is in-situ liquefaction testing, which has been successfully adopted at a number of ield test sites
around the world. Such testing methods, using either controlled blasting techniques or seismic
prospecting trucks, have the potential to produce liquefaction in large volumes of soil and enables
to relate the occurrence of pore pressure generation and dissipation to the effects induced on
geotechnical structures.The 7ICEGE seems to be an appropriate chance for showing different
kinds of up-to-date techniques and test results from large-scale tests which are being produced
around the world. This special session will be opened by a Theme Lecture on large-scale tests with
a high-power shaker; thereafter, a irst series of contributions will be addressed to blast-induced
liquefaction techniques, used both to understand basic mechanisms affecting earth structures or
foundations, and to evaluate the effectiveness of various ground improvement strategies. Further
contributions will be addressed to full-scale dynamic tests on piles and on a facility appropriately
designed for investigating on soil-foundation-structure interaction.

Investigations of parameters that affect the dynamic properties of geotechnical and other materials
are regularly performed in the laboratory. Parametric studies of the dynamic properties ofthese
materials are rarely, if ever, performed in the ield. Overthe past 20 years,the framework for a
generalized ield method has been developed with which controlled, parametric investigations
can be conducted. The ield method involves creating an embedded array of small sensors within
the zone of material to be loaded. Field testing is then performed by applying a series of staged,
static and dynamic loads either at the ground surface using one or more large mobile shakers or
at depth using embedded wall or shaft elementsthat are connected to the shakers. Horizontal or
vertical dynamic loading is used to generate shear waves that propagate through the embedded
sensor array.Development ofthe ield test methods are discussed. Example ield studies include:
(1) a cemented alluviumat Yucca Mountain, Nevada,(2) a saturated, lique iable silty sand in
Christchurch, New Zealand, and (3) a municipal solid waste (MSW)in a land ill.

In less than ive months Central Italy experienced a seismic sequence characterized by nine events
of magnitude larger than 5, up to 6.5 . This latter event is the second stronger earthquake occurred
in Italy in the last 100 years. The different location of the events, that are at the border of 4
Regions in Central Italy, generated widespread damage across the territory of 138 municipalities.
A US-Italy team was involved in the post-event reconnaissance, organized under the auspices of
the Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance (GEER) Association and the Italian Geotechnical
Association (AGI), in collaboration with many Italian universities and research institutions. The
ReLUIS Consortium (Italian University Network of Seismic Engineering Laboratories (ReLUIS)
also participated in the reconnaissance. The Department of Civil Protection (DPC) provided a
fundamental support in emergency response and recovery activities. One year after the major
seismic events, the Italian Government funded an important project for the Seismic Microzonation
of the 138 municipalities, coordinated by the Italian Center for Seismic Microzonation. The Central
Italy earthquake sequence and the subsequent efforts carried out in reconnaissance, microzonation
and recovery activities have brought several insights and key challenges to the attention of the
earthquake engineering communities. Speakers of this Special Session have been selected to
document structural and geotechnical engineering effects as well as the use of microzonation
studies for reconstruction, with special attention to valuable lessons learned. Each contribution

Recent earthquakes worldwide have shown that Earthquake Induced Liquefaction Disasters (EILD)
are responsible for massive structural and infrastructural damages causing in some cases up to
half of the global economic loss produced by earthquakes. From May 2016 through October 2019
the European Commission funded a 5 M€ project on the assessment and mitigation of liquefaction
risk across Europe. This is by far the largest ever-funded project on this speci ic subject in Europe
and possibly elsewhere. A Consortium composed of seven top universities, two leading research
institutions and three industrial partners in Europe have tacked the challenge of setting up a
paradigm to mitigate the risks to EILD in Europe following a holistic approach. The project deals
not only with the resistance of buildings and infrastructures to EILD but also with the resilience
of the collective urban community and of its ability/inability to promptly recover from an EILD.
The LIQUEFACT project sets out to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of EILDs, the
applications of the mitigation techniques, and the development of appropriate technologies
tailored to speci ic scenarios for both European and worldwide situations. Aim of this Special
Session is to present the achievements of LIQUEFACT at the time when the project has arrived at
its natural conclusion. The leading researchers that have participated to LIQUEFACT will have an
opportunity to illustrate in details the major accomplishments. The Special Session includes 8 oral

project for a total duration of 2 hours.

reference to the ventilation shaft and to the Fori Imperiali metro station.
- 10.30-11.00 a.m.: visit at the site of the ventilation shaft, with a diameter of 35 m and 60 m deep,
and at the Basilica of Santo Stefano Rotondo, one of the oldest Christian churches, erected in the
time of Pope Simplicius, between 468 and 483 (V century), where the instrumentation installed to
monitor ground and church movements induced by tunnelling will be illustrated.
- 11.00-12.00 a.m.: walking to the construction site of the metro station of Fori Imperiali, 30
to 50 m wide and about 240 m long, that is to be excavated down to a depth of 32 m. At the
site compensation grouting is being carried out underneath the entrance of the existing Line A
Colosseo station to compensate for ground loss and stress relief caused by tunnelling, and the
irst excavation level has been reached, this allowing to admire the Colosseo from inside of the
excavation.
The visit will end at about 12.00 a.m. to allow participants to reach, easily on foot, the conference
venue, at the Angelicum, in Largo Angelicum 1.

TECHNICAL
VISITS
L’Aquila and the Aterno river valley
Friday 21, 07:30-19:45
This technical visit will allow to explore the town of L’Aquila and the neighbouring areas of the
Aterno river valley, that were both devastated by a Mw 6.1 earthquake on April 6, 2009. L’Aquila
is an ancient town (13th century) located about 120 km east of Rome, at an elevation of about
700 m above sea level, surrounded by the Apennines highest mountains. Visitors will have the
opportunity to observe the status of the reconstruction 10 years after the 2009 earthquake, which
caused huge damage to public and private buildings as well as to the cultural heritage. A guided
walking tour through the old city centre of what has been de ined as “the largest construction
site in Europe” will allow to discover the newly disclosed beauty of restored ancient buildings
and churches, by walking nearby the construction sites of historic buildings subject to retro it
works, but also by strolling through sectors where the reconstruction has not yet started (a
restricted access “red zone” still exists). The tour will include a visit to the shallow cut-and-cover
excavation works of the “smart tunnel” which is being constructed to host the new utility network
(power, water, communication) serving the city centre and the nearby districts. Information
on the geological and geotechnical characteristics of the area, on the main features of the 2009
earthquake (including signi icant site effects), as well as on microzonation studies and on post-
earthquake reconstruction plans will be provided during the tour. Starting from the city centre,
the tour will continue with the visit to one district of the C.A.S.E. Project, an impressive temporary
housing program launched in the aftermath of the 2009 earthquake to host 15,000 homeless
people, pending the rebuilding of their homes. The project comprised 185 buildings provided with
seismic base isolation systems, constructed in just 8 months in 19 areas of the municipality of
L’Aquila. It will also be possible to visit the village of Onna, located near L’Aquila, which was totally
destroyed by the 2009 earthquake, as it is still clearly visible. The tour will then move on to the
upper Aterno river valley. This area comprises several municipalities, such as Campotosto, that
were damaged by the 2009 L’Aquila earthquake and also, but more severely, by the 2016-2017
Central Italy seismic sequence. This village is located near the Campotosto Lake, one of Europe
largest water reservoirs, impounded by two concrete dams and one earth dam. The Campotosto
lake is located approximately 40 km north of L’Aquila at an elevation of about 1,300 m above sea
level, in the heart of the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park, and is known as a tourist
attraction thanks to its wilderness and beautiful mountain landscapes. A big concern about the
dams is due to the presence of an important fault system, activated during the 2016-2017 seismic
sequence, that will be illustrated during the visit.

TECHNICAL
VISITS
Amatrice and Norcia villages
Friday 21, 07:30-19:45
On 21 of June, a technical tour will be arranged to the areas hit by the 2016-2017 seismic sequence
in the central Apennines, one of the most seismically active areas in Italy. The technical visit will
focus irst on Amatrice village, called “the town of 100 churches” and inserted in 2015 into the
list of Italy’s most beautiful ‘borghi’ (historic hamlets). During the central Italy seismic sequence,
Amatrice suffered cumulative effects of damage patterns that led to the complete destruction of
its historical centre. Visit into the “red zone” will be driven by a technical team. The reason for
widespread damage will be explained, the results of microzonation studies will be presented and
the phases of post-earthquake design and reconstruction will be illustrated. In the afternoon, the
village of Norcia, which has a long seismic history, will be visited. Norcia did not suffer extensive
damage during the seismic sequence thanks to effective retro itting measures carried out after
the 1997 earthquake, however, during the events of October 26 and 30, severe damage occurred
to its artistic and monumental heritage such as the medieval Basilica of San Benedetto which has
partially collapsed. It will be possible to learn from past experience in Norcia thanks to the severe
retro it intervention carried out decades before, directly by academic and professionals who have
been involved in the past projects. The technical tour will start with a bus tour from Rome (meeting
point near the conference venue to be de ined) on Friday morning at 07:30 and ends around 20:00
with drop-off at Rome meeting point.
Itinerary and timetable
Stops: Rome (departure 7:30 am) – Amatrice – Norcia – Rome (return 7.45 pm)
