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 [...]

A numerical prediction model for road traffic induced vibrations is developed. Dynamic soilstructure interaction at the source and the structure is accounted for. The � [...]
