Seismic analysis of inclined shallow granular deposits
In the last decades many attempts for understanding the cyclic and dynamic behaviour of soft soils have been devoted by the scientific community. The aim of this thesis consists to investigate the mechanical response of two granular material (Hostun and Toyoura sand) in cyclic/dynamic conditions. In this paper some relationships between permanent displacement, evaluated by means of the code VIBRAZIONE and the Newmark method, and earthquake parameters, such as critical acceleration ratio, Arias Intensity and Destructive Power, have been investigated.
