This paper describes the small scale centrifuge modelling activities performed at ISMGEO (Is-tituto Sperimentale Modelli Geotecnici, formerly ISMES – Italy) laboratory in the frame of the H2020 LIQUEFACT project (http://www.liquefact.eu/). The main aim of the experimentation was to analyze the seismic behavior of loose, saturated, about 15 m deep sandy deposits, ho-mogeneous or stratified, subjected to increasing seismic excitations up to liquefaction and to verify the effectiveness of different liquefaction mitigation techniques. Some tests were car-ried out under free field condition, in some others a simple structure based on shallow founda-tions was modelled as well, in order to study the effects of soil-structure interaction. Thirty-seven centrifuge tests were carried out to this aim, organized in three series: the first one aimed at investigating the liquefaction triggering conditions, the second and third ones devot-ed at analyzing the effectiveness of three selected liquefaction mitigation techniques: vertical drains, horizontal drains and “Induced Partial Saturation” (IPS). Some of the most significant results are presented in this paper.

Abstract
This paper describes the small scale centrifuge modelling activities performed at ISMGEO (Is-tituto Sperimentale Modelli Geotecnici, formerly ISMES – Italy) laboratory in the frame of the H2020 LIQUEFACT project (http://www.liquefact.eu/). The main aim of the experimentation was to analyze the seismic behavior of loose, saturated, about 15 m deep sandy deposits, ho-mogeneous or stratified, subjected to increasing seismic excitations up to liquefaction and to verify the effectiveness of different liquefaction mitigation techniques. Some tests were car-ried out under free field condition, in some others a simple structure based on shallow founda-tions was modelled as well, in order to study the effects of soil-structure interaction. Thirty-seven centrifuge tests were carried out to this aim, organized in three series: the first one aimed at investigating the liquefaction triggering conditions, the second and third ones devot-ed at analyzing the effectiveness of three selected liquefaction mitigation techniques: vertical drains, horizontal drains and “Induced Partial Saturation” (IPS). Some of the most significant results are presented in this paper.File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
