Abstract: The antiplane response of a rigid semicircular cylinder embedded in a homogeneous, isotropic half space due to a step function incident stress is considered. A Fourier synthesis technique is used, in which the admittance ...

Abstract: The response of a rigid cylinder embedded in a homogeneous, isotropic half space to a step function incident stress wave is investigated. The boundary integral equation method is used directly in the time domain where two ...

Abstract: Seismic performance of posttensioned hybrid precast wall systems has been mainly studied in the past without considering the interaction of the wall system with the rest of the structure. In the present study, the multilevel ...

Abstract: In-plane behavior of unbonded posttensioned clay brick masonry walls are investigated using detailed finite-element (FE) models. FE models of three walls having different aspect ratios of 1.50, 1.00, and 0.67 are developed. ...
