In post-Fukushima context, the question of the capacity of NNP to withstand design seismic hazard is now a prior concern. Many NNPs must be reevaluated within a higher le [...]

In this work, we study seismic wave amplification in alluvial basins having 3D canonical geometries through the Fast Multipole Boundary Element Method in the frequency do [...]

In this article, a 3D macroelement to model the seismic behaviour of shallow foundations is formulated, taking into account the non-linearities in the soil and the soil-f [...]

The seismic soil response can be analyzed in the frequency (linear or equivalent linear approaches) as well as in the time domain (e.g. complex constitutive models). The [...]

The analysis of seismic wave propagation and amplification in complex geological structures raises the need for efficient and accurate numerical methods. The solution o [...]
