This paper discusses the design, the installation, and the experimental and numerical evaluation of the effectiveness of a stiff wave barrier in the soil as a mitigation [...]

The dynamic interaction between civil engineering structures and the surrounding soil domain often plays a crucial role and should be accounted for in numerical models. T [...]

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

The extent of damage in a city, in case of strong earthquakes, can be estimated from the results of the seismic vulnerability of its most common construction type. The ai [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Ground borne vibration in buildings due to railway traffic is a major concern in densely built up areas. In practice, railway induced vibration is often predicted by mean [...]
