GIRETTI Daniela

Daniela Giretti is an Associate Professor of Geotechnics at the University of Bergamo. She graduated with honors in Civil Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Marche and earned her PhD in Engineering Sciences from the University of Ferrara in 2010. She trained as a researcher at the Experimental Institute for Geotechnical Models (formerly ISMES), where she specialized in physical modeling in seismic geotechnical centrifuges and calibration chambers.
Her work encompasses various topics within geotechnical engineering, including seismic applications, such as seismic microzonation, soil liquefaction, and the static and seismic behavior of earth structures like river embankments and dams. She also focuses on the characterization of unconventional soils, such as carbonate and silty sands.
Professor Giretti has participated in numerous national and international research projects and is the author of over 70 publications in journals and conference proceedings in the field of geotechnics. Her research topics include physical modeling of pile foundations and piled raft foundations, the cyclic and dynamic behavior of coarse-grained soils, liquefaction, seismic microzonation, the static and dynamic stability of river embankments and earth dams, and the mechanical characterization of non-standard soils, such as carbonate sands and transitional soils.
