A LOCAL SEISMIC RESPONSE STUDIES BASED ON THE PRESSUREMETER RESULTS
A LOCAL SEISMIC RESPONSE STUDIES BASED ON THE PRESSUREMETER RESULTS
The city of Augusta is located in the province of Syracuse, on the eastern coast of Sicily, which is one of the most seismically active areas of Italy. In order to study the geotechnical dynamic characteristics of the foundation soil of the Augusta Hangar, in-situ investigations and laboratory tests were carried out. Recorded accelerograms were employed as seismic input in linear-equivalent codes operating in the frequency domain. Processing of these data also allowed the ground response analysis at the surface, in terms of time history and response spectra. This paper tries to summarize this information in a comprehensive way in order to provide a representative geotechnical model of the site where an important historical building is located.
