Abstract: In this paper, an elastoplastic two-stage analysis method is proposed to model tunneling-induced soil-structure interaction and incorporated into a computer program called Analysis of Structural Response to Excavation ...

Abstract: Numerous existing structures exhibit rocking behavior during earthquakes, and there is a continuing need to retrofit these structures to prevent collapse. In addition, while rocking behavior is typically prevented instead ...

Abstract: A new method is presented to quantify the uncertainty in early-stage assessment of surface structure damage caused by tunneling-induced ground movements. The method employs the Monte Carlo simulation technique and a numerical ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the deformation of buildings due to tunneling-induced soil displacements. Centrifuge model tests of three-dimensionally (3D) printed building models subject to a plane-strain tunnel excavation in ...

Abstract: This paper proposes simple numerical models that simulate the influence of tunneling-induced ground movements on masonry buildings founded on shallow strip footings. The focus is on developing an improved understanding of ...

Abstract: The authors characterized earthen wall materials and plasters in a mid-fourteenth-century Hohokam great house at Casa Grande Ruins National Monument (Arizona) and assessed the seismic susceptibility of its puddled earth ...

Abstract: Tunneling-induced horizontal strains for buildings with discontinuous foundations are notable and may pose significant risks to the integrity of nearby structures. This paper presents results from a series of numerical ...
