The dynamic vehicle-track-bridge-soil interaction is studied on high speed lines. The analysis is carried out using a general and fully three dimensional multi-body-finit [...]

The numerical prediction of the groundborne vibration generated by trains has always the requirements of a large amount of computational time, since the models should usu [...]

A general and fully three dimensional boundary element–finite element model based on time domain formulation to predict vibrations in the track, in the soil and on stru [...]

70% of the about 34,000 Venezuelan schools are in high seismic hazard regions; about 1,000 are similar or identical to the four school buildings that collapsed during the [...]

Many buildings in Spain are vulnerable to the design earthquakes mainly because the former Spanish code required only low lateral strength and did not contain any ductili [...]

A mixed Boundary Element approach based on displacement and traction integral representations for cracked anisotropic and piezoelectric materials is presented. Fundamenta [...]
