HVSR Analysis of Rockslide Seismic Signals to Assess the Subsoil Conditions and the Site Seismic Response by Alessia Lotti, Veronica Pazzi, Gilberto Saccorotti, Andrea Fiaschi, Luca Matassoni, Giovanni Gigli

“…The study area (with an approximate surface of 200×100 m) is located near the town of Assisi (Italy) and is threatened by a rockslide. In this work, we present the results of the preliminary horizontal to vertical spectral ratio analysis of the acquired passive seismic data aimed at understanding the pattern of the seismic noise variation in case of stress state and/or weathering conditions (fluid content and microfracturing). …”

Research on Soft Rocks for the Construction of Roadbeds for High-Speed Railroad: Effect of Water Soaking Environment by Xiangdong Zhang, Jie Geng, Yuebo Xu, Zhongchao Zhou, Shuai Pang

“…The deformation tended to converge and stabilize, indicating that the introduction of the admixture consisting of the cement slurry could help in effectively controlling the property of settlement deformation observed in the fully weathered muddy sandstone roadbed. The results helped in the scientific evaluation of the reinforcement effect. …”
