Soil-structure interaction (SSI) system is composed of soil and structure that are two
materials with quite different damping behaviors and it is regarded as non-classical damping …

To elucidate whether an irregular topography affects the seismic response of nearby
structures, an analytical solution to the dynamic interaction between a symmetric V‐shaped …

Experimental tests carried out on physical models under laboratory-controlled conditions
can provide a valuable insight into the seismic performance of geotechnical systems and are …

The two large‐scale shaking table tests of tall buildings on soft soils in pile group
foundations are performed to capture the effect of the seismic pile‐soil‐structure interaction …

Liquefaction of saturated loose sand is a major cause of extensive damage to buildings and
infrastructures during large earthquakes. A better understanding of the behaviour of …

Abstract The city of Catania (Italy) in the South-Eastern Sicily has been affected in past times
by several destroying earthquakes with high values of estimated magnitude. The …

A series of shaking table tests were designed and conducted to study the seismic
performance of an inverted T-shape cantilever retaining wall with an anti-sliding tooth at the …

Pile foundations strongly influence the performance of supported structures and bridges
during an earthquake. In case of strong earthquake ground motion, soft soils may be …

In the design of tunnels it is extremely important to assess the possible damage to the tunnel
and to the aboveground structures in order to provide adequate mitigation measures, above …

This paper presents new research in the field of nonlinear static seismic analysis and the N2
method for soil-structure systems. The rationale for this study stems from the inclusion of soil …
