Abstract: An accurate and efficient numerical model is developed to calculate the earthquake-induced hydrodynamic pressure on uniform vertical cylinders with an arbitrary cross section surrounded by water. According to the boundary ...

Abstract: The earthquake-induced pressures on arrays of cylinders have received less concern, although pile groups have been widely adopted in real practice. This paper develops an analytical method to investigate the interaction ...

Abstract: In addition to seismic waves, coseismic displacement is also generated during earthquake events, which decreases gradually away from the seismogenic fault and may bring damages to tunnels in the area. This study aims to ...

Abstract: In this paper, the dynamic response of underground rectangular fluid tank resting on an elastic foundation and subjected to arbitrary dynamic loads is developed in the form of analytical solution. The dynamic responses ...

Abstract: This paper shows that the mechanical behavior of concrete materials can be described by a nonlinear unified strength criterion which requires four independent parameters for model calibration. The criterion covers all the ...
