The paper provides preliminary results of a case-study of liquefaction potential assessment for the Italian alluvial area influenced by the May-June 2012 seismic event sequence. Analyses have been carried out on the basis of cone penetration tests CPT and CPTU (one of the most popular in situ tests in Italy), using the most widely used simplified methods (Youd et al., 2001; Robertson & Wride 2008, Robertson 2009; Idriss & Boulanger 2008; Moss et al. 2006). The aims of the research are to: 1) verify the applicability of the most used simplified methods for factor of safety and Liquefaction Potential Index calculation in the study area, 2) to verify the correctness of the predictions of liquefaction comparing the results with the observed liquefaction effects .

Abstract
The paper provides preliminary results of a case-study of liquefaction potential assessment for the Italian alluvial area influenced by the May-June 2012 seismic event sequence. Analyses have been carried out on the basis of cone penetration tests CPT and CPTU (one of the most popular in situ tests in Italy), using the most widely used simplified methods (Youd et al., 2001; Robertson & Wride 2008, Robertson 2009; Idriss & Boulanger 2008; Moss et al. 2006). The aims of the research are to: 1) verify the applicability of the most used simplified methods for factor of safety and Liquefaction Potential Index calculation in the study area, 2) to verify the correctness of the predictions of liquefaction comparing the results with the observed liquefaction effects .I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
