Abstract: To fully implement seismic performance-based design for geotechnical structures, it is necessary to be able to correctly identify relevant earthquake records for the site in question in conjunction with advanced constitutive ...

Abstract: Small-scale tests were carried out on a monopile and fin piles to determine the effect the length of fins had upon the lateral displacement of cyclically loaded piles. A variety of loading conditions were applied to model ...

Abstract: Monte Carlo simulation is the most versatile solution method for problems in stochastic computational mechanics but suffers from a slow convergence rate. The number of simulations required to produce an acceptable accuracy ...
