The assessment of existing infrastructures is a critical issue in the seismic protection of the modern societies. Field surveys in the aftermath of major seismic events h [...]

The substructuring concept has been used in different forms such as in hybrid simulation and parallel computing methods, all contributing significantly to experimental te [...]

The computational demand of the soil-structure interaction (SSI) analysis for the design and assessment of structures as well as for the evaluation of life cycle cost and [...]

In the past decades, a number of major earthquakes caused serious damage to natural gas pipeline networks. In most cases, the devastating effects were caused by permanent [...]

This paper introduces a new approach for seismic Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) analysis of shallow foundations using computationally efficient yet practically accurate [...]

Use of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) in the strengthening of seismic-deficient columns is becoming increasingly common; however, the nonlinear analysis of frame structur [...]

The paper presents results from numerical analyses of reinforced concrete (RC) elements subjected to cyclic load. Many nonlinear numerical models have been proposed in li [...]

This paper summarizes the results of a comprehensive study carried out to assess the seismic response of a 59-span bridge, considering Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI). T [...]
