Inadequate nonstructural seismic performance during recent earthquakes has led to extensive repair costs and lengthy functional disruptions. This study investigates the a [...]

It is observed from the past earthquakes that the pile foundations in liquefiable soil are very susceptible to damage or failure. Often, the structures in liquefied soil [...]

Dissipative devices aim to absorb seismic energy during an earthquake, thus limiting inter-storey drifts, reducing damage to the main structure and improving the chances [...]

Dynamic soil-pile interaction is undoubtedly a complex phenomenon. Though this interaction is well established in competent non-liquefied soil, the same for liquefied soi [...]

Post-earthquake reconnaissance of the 2001 Bhuj (India) earthquake and the 1995 Kobe (Japan) earthquake reveals that the pile supported structures still collapse after ma [...]
