Abstract: A boundary integral equation formulation for dynamic poroelasticity in the frequency domain is presented. The formulation is accomplished using the solid displacements and the fluid stress as ...

Abstract: Most finite element solutions of soil‐structure interaction problems assume a horizontally layered soil that unavoidably extends to infinity and is bounded at the bottom by a bedrock. In this paper, a model consisting of ...

Abstract: A three‐dimensional boundary element technique for the earthquake analysis of arch dams is presented. The dam and the foundation rock are assumed to be viscoelastic domains, the latter being boundless. Under the assumption ...

Abstract: The three‐dimensional boundary element (BE) technique presented in a companion paper by Maeso and Domínguez is extended to include the fluid domain in addition to the dam and the compliant foundation. Linear viscoelastic ...

Abstract: Effects of the existence of a compliant bedrock and of the subsurface inhomogeneities on the site amplification and the seismic response of rigid strip footings are analyzed using boundary elements in a plane strain model ...

Abstract: Using a technique based on the boundary element method, results are obtained for two‐dimensional dam‐water‐sediments‐foundation systems subjected to ground motion. Both deep‐stratum and half‐space idealizations of the ...

Abstract: A boundary-element approach for the dynamic analysis of continuous systems that may consist of water, viscoelastic, and fluid-filled poroelastic zones of arbitrary shape is applied to the study of a concrete gravity dam, ...

Abstract: A boundary element model is presented for the computation of dynamic stiffnesses of strip foundations resting on or embedded in soils that are fluid-filled poroelastic and may also have single-phase viscoelastic zones. The ...

Abstract: The effects of the ground motion spatial variation and of the canyon geometry on the dynamic response of arch dams during the event of an earthquake is studied in this paper. The seismic response of a dam subject to time ...
