The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the cyclic behavior of RC hollow piers, with and without with CFRP retrofit, by comparison of experimental tests results w [...]

The seismic damages of reinforced concrete bridges in recent events show that many of them have an inadequate behavior and safety. Therefore, is important to accurately d [...]

In this paper the influence of the stress state within the soil on predicted railway vibrations in tunnels is studied, regarding Gs modulus degradation that occurs when t [...]

In this paper a numerical study about the influence of soil stiffness on the assessment of vibrations induced by railway traffic in tunnels is performed. A comprehensive [...]

The impact of liquefaction in building performance during earthquakes is an aspect that has been recently receiving more attention by the technical and scientific communi [...]

Modern cities require efficient mass transportation systems like subway and railway networks. Due to the lack of available space and also due to environmental concerns, i [...]

The vibration of beams on foundations subjected to moving loads is an important engineering problem, namely in high-speed railway track design; for some (critical) veloci [...]

Over the last years, there has been increasing interest on experimental testing to support better understanding of structural behaviour under earthquake loading, with emp [...]

The masonry construction is one of oldest construction techniques and more used in all over the world. However, the structural response of masonry structures is complex a [...]
