Abstract: This paper concerns the problem of designing standard artificial tunnels for rock boulder protection. The proposed approach consists in uncoupling the problem of the dynamic response of the granular dissipative soil cushion ...

Abstract: Cases of pipeline damage caused by landslides are common in coastal or mountainous regions, where a continuous monitoring/repair activity is planned in order to maintain their serviceability. The analysis of the soil–structure ...

Abstract: Seismic-induced liquefaction is one of the main hazards for pipelines buried in saturated granular materials. When soil is partially or completely fluidized, a lifeline, although installed in superficial trenches in which ...
