Lateral response of stiff column-supported shallow foundations
The mechanisms that control the lateral response of stiff column-supported shallow foundations, resulting from the application of horizontal load on shallow foundations supported by stiff columns, are uncertain. Stiff columns constructed in soft clayey soil have been used to support retaining walls …

Long-term Cyclic Lateral Response and Optimisation of Shallow Foundations
… advancing understanding of the long-term cyclic lateral response of shallow foundations in sand, and (iii) proposing alternative designs aimed at more efficient and cost-effective geometries. A comprehensive centrifuge modelling programme was conducted on a representative foundation for a 2 MW …

Lateral response of alluvial rivers to the downstream passage of episodic sediment pulses
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2026-12-01

Dynamic analysis of a composite moving beam
… oscillating in the longitudinal direction. The lateral response of the beam is studied due to an initial lateral deflection. The beam is made-up of laminated composite materials. Both symmetric and unsymmetrical lay ups are considered. Since unsymmetrical lay ups introduce bending-axial …

Effect of Severe Corrosion on Lateral Strength of Square RC Bridge Columns
… Severe corrosion of steel bars decreases the lateral load-carrying capacity of reinforced concrete members, causes loss in the mechanical properties of reinforcement and cross-sectional area of steel bars and concrete cover, bond deterioration, reduces anchorage of steel bars, and decreases …

Balloon-type CLT Shearwalls: Lateral Deformation and Kinematic Behaviours
… systems have been increasingly adopted as lateral load-resisting systems in mid-rise timber buildings. Compared with platform-type configurations, balloon-type shearwalls mitigate bearing failure associated with perpendicular-to-grain compression at floor levels, while also reducing …

Finite Element Analysis of the Seismic Behavior of Guyed Masts
… Energy Dissipators (SCEDs) to minimize lateral response in structures. A finite element model of a 120-m-tall guyed mast was developed with the commercial program ABAQUS. The three-dimensional behavior of the mast was observed when subjected to two ground motion records: Northridge and …

Subduction dynamics at the middle America trench : new constraints from swath bathymetry, multichannel seismic data, and 10BE
… and northwestern Costa Rica represents a lateral response to a buoyant load caused by the thick crust and elevated thermal regime in the Cocos plate offshore of southeastern Costa Rica.

Energy and Data Conversion Circuits for Low Power Sensory Systems
… more perimeter-to-area ratio which increases the lateral response, improving its efficiency. With increased efficiency, more current is generated but the open-circuit voltage still remains low (0:3V - 0:45V depending on illumination condition). These voltages have to be boosted up to higher values …

Full-Scale-Lateral-Load Test of a 1.2 m Diameter Drilled Shaft in Sand
… interaction models associated with laterally loaded deep foundations have typically been based on load tests involving relatively small diameter foundations. The lateral soil resistance for larger diameter foundations has been assumed to increase linearly with diameter; however, few, …

Timber shear walls for a sustainable build future
… The study on shear walls regards also their lateral capacity, as well as the comparison between LTF and CLT walls of equal aspect ratio and similar restraining. In the third paper, existing cyclic test data on LTF and CLT walls were used to study the different displacement contributions and …

Contribution to kinematic and inertial analysis of piles by analytical and experimental methods
… to both direct loading, such as axial and lateral forces imposed at their heads, resulting from a phenomenon known as inertial interaction, and indirect loading along their body, such as imposed displacements due to the passage of various types of seismic waves, resulting from a phenomenon …
