We present the results of a large‐scale experimental campaign performed on the prototype
structure of EuroProteas in Thessaloniki, Greece, to assess the effectiveness of gravel …

Local soil conditions can significantly modify the seismic motion expected on the soil
surface. In most cases, the indications concerning the influence of the underlying soil …

Recent achievement of research on soil-structure interaction (SSI) is reviewed, with a main
focus on the numerical analysis. The review is based on the continuum mechanics theory …

One basic factor influencing the seismic design of new structures, as well as the retrofitting
and/or improvement of existing ones, is the dynamic interaction between the foundation soil …

The paper focus on the realization of a reliable geotechnical model for a study on Seismic
Response Analysis, for which one of the most important steps is represented by the accurate …

Structural response to earthquakes has to be definitely considered a multidisciplinary
subject, depending on many factors among which local site effects and dynamic interaction …

The city of Noto belongs to a seismic area located on the eastern zone of Sicily (Italy). The
following in situ investigations were carried out in order to determine the soil geotechnical …

To evaluate the basic data for a seismic response analysis it is possible to use many direct
methods to obtain the shear wave velocity profile of the soil: Down Hole, Cross Hole, SASW …

Numerical modelling of the soil in seismic design of structures is always a daunting task. The
goal of this article is to develop a simplistic numerical modelling technique for shallow …

This paper provides the results of FEM simulation of dynamic tests recently performed in
Thessaloniki on a large-scale single-degree-of-freedom structure resting on a soft soil. The …
