Abstract: This study investigates the influence of soil–structure interaction (SSI) on period and damping of steel moment-resisting frame buildings supported by shallow footings on dry sand deposits. A series of impact hammer tests ...

Abstract: When subjected to moving train loads, the bridge-end transition zone becomes an important geotechnical site, requiring detailed investigation. Dealing with complex track–substructure–soil interaction is essential because ...

Abstract: From a predictive point of view, it is desirable to characterize the effect of varying model input parameters on the seismic response of soil-foundation systems. In this paper, this issue is studied for shallow foundation ...

Abstract: A new frequency-dependent analytical model of railway substructure stiffness is proposed for analyzing ballasted rail-track systems subjected to motion-induced dynamic loading. The proposed model incorporates the effects ...
