Abstract: Recent studies have highlighted the beneficial role of foundation uplifting and the potential effectiveness of guiding the plastic hinge into the foundation soil by allowing full mobilization of bearing capacity during ...

Abstract: A finite element method (FEM)-based formulation is developed for an effective computation of the eigenmode frequencies, the decomposition of total liquid mass into impulsive and convective parts, ...

Abstract: Critical for the seismic safety of immersed tunnels is the magnitude of deformations developing in the segment joints, as a result of the combined longitudinal and lateral vibrations. Analysis and design against such ...
