• Failure mechanisms of landfills under dynamic loading 

      Zania, V.; Tsompanakis, Y.; Psarropoulos, P.; Papadimitriou, A. (2008)
      Seismic stability of above-ground landfills is an issue of extreme engineering interest, and the proper implementation of the corresponding analyses requires dealing with several uncertainties related mainly to the special ...
    • Improved seismic design procedures and evolutionary tools 

      Fragiadakis, M.; Lagaros, N. D.; Tsompanakis, Y.; Papadrakakis, M. (2006)
      Four alternative analytical procedures are recommended by the design codes for the structural analysis of buildings under earthquake loading. The objective of this chapter is to assess these procedures by integrating them ...
    • Intelligent computational paradigms in earthquake engineering 

      Lagaros, N. D.; Tsompanakis, Y. (2006)
      The enormous advances in computational hardware and software resources over the last fifteen years resulted in the development of non-conventional data processing and simulation methods. Among these methods artificial ...
