Recent researches have revealed that the seismic ground response above tunnels can be
different from the free-field motion during earthquakes. Nevertheless, to the best of the …

elastodynamic interior problems is investigated. A general analytical method is described for …

In this paper, the effects of two long unsupported parallel tunnels on the seismic response of
the ground surface are studied, using the boundary element method in the time-domain. The …

Two-dimensional site effects caused by cavities under topographical functions can
considerably impact the seismic reaction of the ground surface. Due to the complexity of …

In this paper, a new indirect boundary element formulation for two-dimensional
elastodynamic problems is presented. The formulation makes use of a static fundamental …

In this paper, a meshless method for analyzing the elastodynamic behavior of two-
dimensional problems is introduced. The nonsingular method of fundamental solutions …

This review paper describes the most widely used techniques associated with the dynamic
