Slender structures such as footbridges may be prone to human induced vibrations such that vibration mitigation devices as TMD’s are adopted to increase the structural d [...]

This paper examines the influence of imperfectly known local subsoil conditions on the response prediction of buildings to ground-borne environmental vibration. A probabi [...]

This paper presents a technique for offline time synchronization of data acquisition systems for linear structures with proportional damping. The technique can be applied [...]

The free wave characteristics, i.e. propagation constants and free waves, characterize the dynamic behaviour of periodic structures. For this reason, they may therefore p [...]

This paper reports on the dynamic soil-structure analysis of a telescope pier of an astrophysical laboratory in the Sierra de Javalambre, Teruel (Spain). Vibration contro [...]

This paper studies the efficiency of subgrade stiffening next to the track as a mitigation measure for railway induced vibrations. A computationally efficient two-and-a-h [...]

Numerical simulations have been carried out with a two-and-a-half dimensional coupled finite element - boundary element methodology to assess the effectiveness of a sheet [...]

The Palmas Altas footbridge is a recently built bridge in Sevilla (Spain) designed by architect Richard Rogers. It is a 78.6m long steel-concrete box girder. The bridge h [...]

Wind induced ovalling vibrations were observed during a storm in October 2002 on several empty silos of a closely spaced group consisting of 8 by 5 thin-walled silos in t [...]

This paper discusses the coupling of finite element and fast boundary element methods based on hierarchical matrices to solve problems of visco–elastodynamic wave propa [...]
