Abstract: The cyclic behavior of stratified silty sandy soils is at present poorly understood, yet these materials are commonly found in alluvial deposits and hydraulic fill, which have a history of liquefaction during earthquakes. ...

Abstract: Significant progress has been achieved in the active control of civil-engineering structures, not only in the control algorithm, but also in the control testing of the scale model and full-scale building. At the present ...

Abstract: The identification and modeling of linear and nonlinear dynamic systems through the use of measured experimental data is a problem of considerable importance in engineering. Among the identification methods, the artificial ...
