The complex seismic soil-pile-structure interaction phenomenon is related to the interaction between foundation and structure under seismic and dynamic excitations. An ef [...]

The focus of the present study is upon the influence of liquefaction on the dynamic impedance (stiffness and damping) of rigid square footings resting on liquefiable soil [...]

The feasibility of a new geotechnical seismic isolation system for pile-supported structures, such as bridge piers on monopiles, is investigated. The isolation system uti [...]

The theoretical representation of the dynamic horizontal soil reaction to a laterally oscillating pile using an approximate 3D continuum modelling is investigated. The go [...]

The interaction between soil, foundation and structure during earthquake shaking is a complex phenomenon in which several mechanisms are involved. Soil-structure interact [...]

Bridge rocking isolation has attracted the interest of the bridge engineering community, as it minimises damage in the structural system, which conforms to the objectives [...]

A novel method for reducing the seismic forces imposed on pile-supported bridge piers, is presented. To this end, a flexible bridge pier founded on a single pile is enhan [...]

Recent experimental and theoretical studies suggest that deep foundations may be avoided in a liquefaction regime, in the presence of a non-liquefiable layer on top of th [...]

During earthquake ground shaking earth pressures on retaining structures can cyclically increase and decrease as a result of inertial forces applied to the walls and kine [...]

Analytical and numerical solutions are presented for the plastic response of sliding structures to idealized ground acceleration pulses. These motions are typical of near [...]
