In common engineering practice, foundation–soil–foundation interaction of shallow foundations is frequently ignored. This presumably for cost/benefit reasons, since computationally demanding finite-element and/or boundary element models are required that purpose, and its effects usually assumed to be negligible. this sense, the present paper provides a simple inexpensive way incorporating throu...

Stone column replacement of soft soil foundation construction method is more and used in water conservancy projects. On the one hand, stone has high permeability, which enhances dissipation capacity excess pore pressure; on other it a stiffness, reduces additional stress soil, therefore pressure. These two mechanisms work together to improve bearing soil. In previous plane strain transformation...

The dynamic response characteristics of the innovative marine wind power hybrid foundation under combined action wind, wave and seismic loading are studied in this article. Taking monopile as reference group, shearing strain-volumetric strain coupled pore pressure incremental constitutive model was utilized to simulate kinetic behavior seabed’s saturated soil. distribution variation residual wa...

Abstract A novel numerical methodology is presented to solve the dynamic response of railway bridges under passage running trains, considering soil–structure interaction. It advantageous compared alternative approaches because it permits, (i) consideration complex geometries for bridge and foundations, (ii) simulation stratified soils, and, (iii) solving train-bridge problem at minimal computat...

Slender, load-bearing masonry walls with slenderness ratios (h/t) greater than 30 are required to be designed as pinned-pinned elements per North American provisions for masonry, CSA S304-14 (2019) and TMS 402-16 (2016). This provision neglects the contribution of reactive stiffness foundation strength wall its effect on redistribution bending moments along height. Eight full-scale built differ...

In this study, a total number of 20 centrifuge tests were carried out to investigate monopile behaviour under lateral cyclic loading. The instrumented model pile simulates an offshore wind turbine foundation with embedment ratio 5 installed in sand layers two relative densities 80% and 50%. influence the directional characteristic amplitude load on was studied. data analysis focused accumulatio...

Motivated by the observed (successful and unsuccessful) performance of numerous structures on top of, or immediately next to a normal fault that ruptured during the Kocaeli 1999 earthquake, this paper: (i) develops a two-step finite element methodology to study the propagation of a fault rupture through soil and its interplay with the foundation–structure system, denoted hereafter “Fault Ruptur...

Introduction.-The purpose of this note is to advance the theory of the following problem: An elastic beam of infinite length, loaded inside a finite region, rests on a yielding foundation. It is asked how much the results of this theory are influenced by alterations of the assumptions concerning the physical nature of the foundation. As it is known, in engineering the assumption is made that at...
