Abstract
The Tito Scalo site, located near the city of Potenza in the Basilicata region in Southern Italy, is a high seismic risk area. Borings and dynamic in situ tests have been performed. Among them Down Hole (D-H), Noise Analysis Surface Waves (NASW) and Seismic Dilatometer Marchetti Tests (SDMT) have been carried out, with the aim to evaluate the of shear-wave velocity (Vs) profile of the soil. The results show a very detailed and stable shear-wave profile. After evaluating the synthetic accelerograms at the bedrock, the ground response analysis at the surface, in terms of time histories and response spectra, has been obtained by two non-linear models GEODIN and EERA.
