Abstract
The paper summarizes the activities undertaken to retrieve large size undisturbed sample of gravel and sand by in situ freezing at Licciana Nardi (Lucca, Italy). The following laboratory tests have been performed on the retrieved sampled: grain size distribution, soil density and relative density, undrained cyclic compression loading triaxial tests under strain control, undrained monotonic compression loading cyclic tests under strain control, triaxial liquefaction tests under stress control. In situ LPT and other dynamic penetration tests have been performed at the investigation site.
