Go/N ratio in tropical soils from Brazil
(2015-01-01)
The geotechnical behavior of tropical soils is complex and cannot be supported only by the classical soil mechanics. The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is broadly used for geotechnical site characterization. However, it ...
Macro-modeling of adobe piers for seismic analysis of adobe dwellings in Cuenca, Ecuador
(Springer Países Bajos, 2019)
Ecuador lies on the eastern rim of the seismically active area known as the Pacific Ring of Fire. In 1999, Cuenca’s unique architecture and historical buildings were listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Trust sites; many ...
Modeling of Colombian Seismicity as Small-World Networks
(2018)
Considering seismological data sets as complex networks is an approach that can be used to study the seismicity in a region; comprehend the spatial and temporal complexity of this phenomenon; and even more important, unravel ...
SyntheticSeis: a synthetic seismic software
(Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, 2021-02-18)
Synthetic seismic models derived from outcrop studies are useful for comparing with actual seismic data sets. This article presents the software we developed (SyntheticSeis) in terms of its architecture and validation ...

Using a Seismic Dilatometer to Identify Collapsible Soils
(2021-01-01)
Collapsible soils are unusual geomaterials found in several regions of the world. These soils undergo sudden and large volumetric compressive deformations upon wetting under constant loading. It is a problematic soil that ...
Analysis, testing, and implementation of seismic isolation of buildings in Chile
(WILEY, 2004)
This article Summarizes the work done by the authors in seismic isolation over the past six years in Chile. First, a general evaluation of the optimal values of the yield level of the isolation system is performed, focusing ...
A Simplified and Versatile Element Model for 2 Elastomeric Seismic Isolation Bearings
(2021)
A novel approach for two-dimensional modeling of elastomeric bearings using three springs in parallel is presented. This simplified element model considers as follows: (1) an elastoplastic spring with a smooth transition ...
Experimental seismic shear force amplification in scaled RC cantilever shear walls with base irregularities
(Springer Netherlands, 2018)
RC structural slender walls under large seismic excitation are expected to reach base moment capacity mainly affected by the first vibration mode. However, the base shear could be affected by higher modes once yielding in ...
