Ten years after the successful conference held in Bari, the VI Italian Conference of Researchers in Geotechnical Engineering (CNRIG) took place at the Auditorium of Department of Arts of the Alma Mater Studiorum in Bologna on 22-23 September 2016. The event was organized by the Geotechnical Engineering Group of the University of Bologna in collaboration with the National Group of Geotechnical Engineering (GNIG) and under the auspices of the Department of Civil, Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering (DICAM) of the University of Bologna. The overall theme of the Conference was "Geotechnical Engineering in Multidisciplinary Research: from Microscale to Regional Scale", a purposely broad ‘hot’ topic that provided a wide scope for participation from the many disciplines interacting on various issues with Geotechnical Engineering at different scales of analysis. As tradition of such conferences which foster a lively debate on recent research advancements, the event provided great opportunities for participants to share up-to-date knowledge, new ideas and experiences in Geotechnical Engineering, as well as to discuss current research prospects and potential future collaborations. Being the 6th conference of the CNRIG series, some valuable traditions were maintained while a few significant novelties were introduced. The key innovation of this edition was undoubtedly represented by its international vocation, which implied the adoption of English language throughout and the publication of the proceedings in the highly recognized, open access platform Procedia Engineering, thus allowing other readers around the world to benefit from the outcomes of the Conference. From the initially submitted 109 abstracts, 92 papers were finally accepted for publication. The Conference Organizing Committee was especially pleased with the unprecedented large number of high quality contributions submitted, exceeding all expectations and including the extensive presence of co-authors from interacting disciplines. As a further element of novelty, about 14% of the published papers included non-Italian Authors. The participation of delegates from outside Italy was most welcome and their contributions made CNRIG a more fruitful and international event. The papers were sorted out into three general subject areas, according to the general theme of the Conference: 1) from Microscale to Macroscale, 2) from Macroscale to Boundary Value Problems, 3) from Boundary Value Problems to Regional Scale. An enormous effort was made to provide the Authors with a rigorous and fair review of the papers. We are very grateful to the Scientific Committee, the Organizing Committee and, in particular, to the tireless publication team for their dedicated work and for ensuring such a high quality publication. Finally, many thanks to all the Authors for their contribution to this Proceedings volume, for their initiative and enthusiasm. We do hope you will find its contents of valuable and long lasting use.

Abstract
Ten years after the successful conference held in Bari, the VI Italian Conference of Researchers in Geotechnical Engineering (CNRIG) took place at the Auditorium of Department of Arts of the Alma Mater Studiorum in Bologna on 22-23 September 2016. The event was organized by the Geotechnical Engineering Group of the University of Bologna in collaboration with the National Group of Geotechnical Engineering (GNIG) and under the auspices of the Department of Civil, Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering (DICAM) of the University of Bologna. The overall theme of the Conference was "Geotechnical Engineering in Multidisciplinary Research: from Microscale to Regional Scale", a purposely broad ‘hot’ topic that provided a wide scope for participation from the many disciplines interacting on various issues with Geotechnical Engineering at different scales of analysis. As tradition of such conferences which foster a lively debate on recent research advancements, the event provided great opportunities for participants to share up-to-date knowledge, new ideas and experiences in Geotechnical Engineering, as well as to discuss current research prospects and potential future collaborations. Being the 6th conference of the CNRIG series, some valuable traditions were maintained while a few significant novelties were introduced. The key innovation of this edition was undoubtedly represented by its international vocation, which implied the adoption of English language throughout and the publication of the proceedings in the highly recognized, open access platform Procedia Engineering, thus allowing other readers around the world to benefit from the outcomes of the Conference. From the initially submitted 109 abstracts, 92 papers were finally accepted for publication. The Conference Organizing Committee was especially pleased with the unprecedented large number of high quality contributions submitted, exceeding all expectations and including the extensive presence of co-authors from interacting disciplines. As a further element of novelty, about 14% of the published papers included non-Italian Authors. The participation of delegates from outside Italy was most welcome and their contributions made CNRIG a more fruitful and international event. The papers were sorted out into three general subject areas, according to the general theme of the Conference: 1) from Microscale to Macroscale, 2) from Macroscale to Boundary Value Problems, 3) from Boundary Value Problems to Regional Scale. An enormous effort was made to provide the Authors with a rigorous and fair review of the papers.
