Numerous studies have repeatedly demonstrated the efficiency of using skirts to increase
the bearing capacity and to reduce settlement of shallow foundations subjected to static …

The growing use of underground structures, specifically to facilitate urban transportation,
highlights the need to scrutinize the effects of such spaces on the seismic ground response …

The use of passive energy dissipation devices has been widely used in the construction
industry to minimize the probability of damage occurred under intense ground motion. In this …

The influence of ground motions on the seismic response of utility tunnels was investigated.
A series of small-scale shaking table model tests were carried out under uniform excitation …

The dynamic behavior of a single pile was investigated by using analytical and numerical
studies. The focus of this study was to develop the dynamic py curve of a pile for pseudo …

In this work, we investigate the interaction between tunnel and surface foundation in two
dimensions by the particle flow code. At the first stage, the PFC calibration is conducted …

An accurate analysis of structures supported on soft soils and subjected to seismic loading
requires the consideration of the soil-foundation-structure interaction. An important aspect of …

Studying the critical response characteristics of box culverts with diverse geometrical
configurations under seismic excitations is a necessary step to develop a reasonable design …

In this study, numerical analyses were conducted to investigate the load transfer
mechanisms and dynamic responses between the vertical shaft and the surrounding soil …
