Abstract. In 2012, the Emilia-Romagna region (Italy) was struck by a seismic crisis characterized by two main shocks (ML 5.9 and 5.8) which triggered relevant liquefaction events. Terre del Reno is one of the
municipalities that experienced the most extensive liquefaction effects due
to its complex geostratigraphic and geomorphological setting. This area is
indeed located in a floodplain characterized by lenticular fluvial channel
bodies associated with crevasse and levee clay–sand alternations, related to
the paleo-Reno River. Therefore, it was chosen as a case study for the PERL
project, which aims to define a new integrated methodology to assess the
liquefaction susceptibility in complex stratigraphic conditions through a
multi-level approach. To this aim, about 1800 geotechnical, geophysical, and
hydrogeological investigations from previous studies and new realization
surveys were collected and stored in the PERL dataset. This dataset is here
publicly disclosed, and some possible applications are reported to highlight
its potential.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
