A laboratory and field study on cyclic liquefaction of a pyroclastic soil

The main objective of the thesis is the analysis of the liquefaction potential of a typical pyroclastic soil, under both cyclic laboratory tests and seismic actions expected during strong-motion earthquakes. The particular choice of volcanic soils was addressed by the peculiar interest for such soils in the Campania region, widely covered by this kind of materials, which affect significantly the stability of the territory versus both seismic and hydrologic extreme events.
