This paper presents a numerical study of the influence of various parameters on the seismic response of the CAREM-25 nuclear power plant (NPP) located in Argentina. The influence of soil stiffness, structure-soilstructure ...

In this paper, the effect of soil structure interaction and base isolation on the dynamic characteristics of an instrumented bridge is examined using transfer functions and measured motions in the frequency domain. A three ...

This paper presents an alternative coupling strategy between the Boundary Element Method (BEM) and the Finite Element Method (FEM) in order to create a computational code for the analysis of geometrical nonlinear 2D frames ...

This work deals with the consideration of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) in structural design of reinforced concrete buildings on shallow foundations of the isolated footing type. It carried out a comprehensive review ...

Previous research has shown the effectiveness of the integrated design of weakening and damping techniques (WeD) for the seismic retrofitting of structures. Indeed, WeD techniques are able to reduce inter-story drifts and ...

The dynamic interaction of the soil with a superstructure (DSSI) las been the subject of numerous investigations assuming elasticity of both, superstructure and soil foundation behavior. Nevertheless, the effect of DSSI ...

In order to obtain baseline values for the evaluation of soil degradation, the biological and physical quality of petrocalcic Paleustolls, of the calcrete plains of the Semiarid Region Pampa of Argentina, soils under ...

At present, methods based on allowable displacements are frequently used in the seismic design of earth retaining structures. However, these procedures ignore both the foundation soil deformability and the seismic amplification ...
