Abstract: "Il 20 maggio 2012 in Pianura Padana è iniziata una sequenza sismica che ha interessato una vasta area compresa tra le Province di Reggio Emilia, Modena, Mantova, Bologna e Ferrara. La prima forte scossa, di magnitudo locale ML=5,9, è avvenuta alle 4:03 ora locale, con epicentro tra Mirandola e Finale Emilia, seguita, nel giro […]
Abstract: "A damaging seismic sequence hit a wide area mainly located in the Emilia-Romagna region (Northern Italy) during 2012 with several events of local magnitude Ml≥5 Ml≥5, among which the Ml Ml 5.9 May 20 and the Ml Ml5.8 May 29 were the main events. Thanks to the presence of a permanent accelerometric station very […]
Abstract: "In this paper, we address the issue of evaluating the seismic site response for sites located on large alluvial plains, for which no reference sites can be identified, but some earthquakes can be simultaneously recorded at both surface and depth. In the proposed method, surface and borehole records are firstly used to assess the […]
Abstract: "Results of an extensive ambient vibration surveys carried out by different research teams in the area damaged by May–June 2012 seismic sequence in Emilia Romagna (Northern Italy) are summarized and analysed. In particular, ambient vibrations were acquired by both single station and seismic array configurations. Average horizontal to vertical spectral ratios (HVSR) at single […]
