          measurement of damping and characterization on hard-to-
        
        
          sample materials, such as gravels and MSW.
        
        
          Laboratory testing: a four decades experience in CTX and
        
        
          RCTS tests makes such techniques well-established. However,
        
        
          non-conventional equipments (HC, BT) as well as multi-
        
        
          directional and irregular loading patterns can highlight some
        
        
          specific aspects of cyclic stress-strain behaviour and strength,
        
        
          which have traditionally been over-simplified.
        
        
          Liquefaction assessment: while the classification of failure
        
        
          criteria and mechanisms in element tests is still debated,
        
        
          attention must be paid on the engineering applicability or
        
        
          extension of empirical methods on peculiar soils, e.g. focusing
        
        
          on the effects on fabric, non-plastic vs. plastic fines, crushable
        
        
          grains and so on. Sequences of multiple earthquake loads are a
        
        
          further challenge.
        
        
          Physical and numerical modeling: their combination has an
        
        
          immense value for the understanding of complex mechanisms,
        
        
          calibration of design procedures and advanced models, and
        
        
          optimization of mitigation technologies.
        
        
          Innovative materials: recycled materials (e.g. waste, PVA
        
        
          fibers, TDA) are increasingly used in element and model tests,
        
        
          with satisfying performances as sustainable techniques for soil
        
        
          reinforcement or lightweight fills.
        
        
          Case studies: the damage scenario induced by a strong-
        
        
          motion earthquake, although dramatic, is still the most
        
        
          representative investigation ‘laboratory’. Post-earthquake
        
        
          ys provides new addresses for future
        
        
          improvements for the codes of practice.
