The seismic signals, recorded at different surface points during the propagation of the seismic waves through soil, show differences due to the soil-wave interaction. The [...]

The seismic actions used to design long structures, as bridges, should be attentively evaluated, since, due to seismic wave propagation through soil, at distant foundatio [...]

Oblique incidence waves play a vital role in the spatial variation of seismic ground motions. It is important to consider the oblique incidence of a seismic wave in a val [...]

Structural health monitoring of pipelines by guided waves is a technique under continuous development. It proved a relevant efficiency in defects detection in pipes. The [...]

With the rapid development of the 4S technology (RS, GPS, GIS, GPRS), the technology has widely been used in many fields (such as urban management, the management of mine [...]
