Investigation of Soil and Quay Wall Interaction Under Seismic Loading

Interaction Analysis of Space Frame-shear Wall-soil System to Investigate Foundation Forces under Seismic Loading

The significance of incorporating soil-structure interaction effect in the analysis and design of RC frame buildings is increasingly recognized but still not penetrated to the grass root level owing to various complexities involved. It is well established fact that the soil-structure interaction effect considerably influence the design of multi-storey buildings subjected to lateral seismic load...

Soil-Structure Interaction of Buried Pipes Under Cyclic Loading Conditions

The safety of lifelines, as the most important urban facilities, under different conditions highly depends on the safe design and performance of these buried structures. This cannot be achieved unless their actual behaviors are well understood and considered at the designing stage. A new physical model was developed in Amirkabir University of Technology to study the behavior of buried pipes und...

Effect of Geogrid Aperture Size and Soil Particle Size on Geogrid-Soil Interaction under Pull-Out Loading

Examination of the Behavior of Gravity Quay Wall against Liquefaction under the Effect of Wall Width and Soil Improvement

Deformation of quay walls is one of the main sources of damage to port facility while liquefaction of backfill and base soil of the wall are the main reasons for failures of quay walls. During earthquakes, the most susceptible materials for liquefaction in seashore regions are loose saturated sand. In this study, effects of enhancing the wall width and the soil improvement on the behavior of gr...

Dynamic Interaction of Soil-Pile-Structure under Seismic Action

Due to randomness of seismic load, it is difficult to predict the complexity of the soil, pile, structures and their system. Presently, there isn’t a better way to explain and simulate the dynamic interaction of soil-pile-structure completely and precisely. Based on the stiffness expressions of interaction, the improved physical and mathematical models are setup to reflect the basic mass, stiff...
