In 2008 a new Building Code (Norme Tecniche per le Costruzioni, D.M. 14/01/2008) was introduced in Italy following the in-troduction of Eurocodes 7 (part 1) and 8 (part 5). Apart from some changes due to the need of adapting the content of the Eurocodes to local practice, the main structure of the latter was held. In the paper some comments are reported reference to the design of piled foundations in seismic areas. Some specific topics are developed, with particular reference to kinematic and inertial interaction, with the aim of pointing out questions which may be worthy of discussion in light of a possible re-examination and updating of Codes.

Abstract
In 2008 a new Building Code (Norme Tecniche per le Costruzioni, D.M. 14/01/2008) was introduced in Italy following the in-troduction of Eurocodes 7 (part 1) and 8 (part 5). Apart from some changes due to the need of adapting the content of the Eurocodes to local practice, the main structure of the latter was held. In the paper some comments are reported reference to the design of piled foundations in seismic areas. Some specific topics are developed, with particular reference to kinematic and inertial interaction, with the aim of pointing out questions which may be worthy of discussion in light of a possible re-examination and updating of Codes.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
