The underground concrete silo is commonly constructed severing as vertical transport
passages in mining and emergency exits for buried structures like tunnels, which, however …

Underground steel pipelines are one of the most important mediums for transport of water,
oil, natural gas and other hazardous or highly toxic gases. Its assessment against blast has …

This paper proposes using geofoam blocks to improve the safety of buried steel pipelines
under permanent ground deformation due to strike-slip fault rupture. Since these geofoam …

As a common treatment method to improve the bearing capacity of soft soil sites, the strong
impact vibration generated by dynamic compaction (DC) has adverse effects on the …

An attempt has been made to study the transient dynamic response of small scale reinforced
concrete tunnels against repeated impact loads. A total of four semi-cylindrical tunnels of …

Traffic vibration of roads, trains and metro system is increasingly influencing normal life and
facility operation in large cities, as population grows and infrastructures get more congested …

This paper presents a study of the propagation and mitigation of ground vibrations induced
by high speed railways using 8 centrifuge tests. In the reported tests here, geofoam is used …

This paper presents a centrifuge study on the performance of inclined geofoam barriers
compared to a vertical geofoam barrier for the mitigation of ground vibrations induced by …

Foamed concrete is increasingly utilized in protection engineering because it offers a high
energy absorption ratio and a relatively low construction cost. To investigate the dynamic …

Centrifuge model tests are conducted to investigate the dynamic response of dry sand under
blast loading. The characteristics and propagation mode of blast waves in dry sand are …
