Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction
… in seismic building analysis to include dynamic soil-structure interaction. The analysis utilizes soil impedance functions for a structural foundation. Most of the computational results refer to a rigid mat foundation. The damping that arises in a soil-structure system will generally be …

Experiments in tunnel-soil-structure interaction
… significant expansion of underground infrastructure, which results in unavoidable ground displacements that affect the built environment. Predicting the interaction between a tunnel, the soil and existing structures remains an engineering challenge due to the highly non-linear behaviour of …

Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction In Buildings With Oil Dampers
Research into the seismic performance of structures with oil dampers have so far been driven primarily by the structural engineering community, with influential experimental work on the topic originating mainly from large scale shaking table testing of fixed-base prototype frames. Despite …

Soil-Structure Interaction for low damage Seismic Rocking Systems
… of catastrophic potential. Seismic protection of structures by means of rocking isolation is becoming increasingly popular, since allowing uplift is an inexpensive way to reduce the damage demand placed in structures. However, understanding the role of soil–structure interaction in the response of …

Finite element analysis of some soil-structure interaction problems
… procedure is used for analysis of a number of soil-structure interaction problems. This procedure involves one dimensional beam-column element, two-dimensional (rectangular) plate element, and nonlinear foundation represented by a series of springs. The behavior of the latter is simulated by …

Consistent description of radiation damping in transient soil-structure interaction
Dynamic soil-structure interaction problems are characterized by an unbounded soil-domain and thus by radiation damping. This radiation damping arises due to wave propagation from the excited structure into the subsoil and may lead to a reduction of the structural response. A consistent description …

Soil-structure interaction effects of simple structures supported on rectangular foundations
This thesis deals with the effects of soil-structure interaction, both kinematic and inertial, on the responses of seismically excited rectangular foundations and simple structures supported on such foundations. The ground motion considered is defined stochastically by a local power spectral …

The influence of fungi upon soil structure and soil water relations
The investigation of soil structural stability and soil water processes was assessed through the application of laboratory investigations and a field based analysis. The impact of an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal exudate glomalin (a glycoprotein), proposed to be hydrophobic was assessed for a …
