A combined numerical/experimental prediction method for urban railway vibration

Kouroussis G., Vogiatzis K.E., Connolly D.P. (2017)

Railway-induced ground vibrations can cause negative effects to people/structures located in urban areas. One of the main sources of these vibrations is from the large vehicle forces generated when train wheels impact local ...
Effects of spatial variability of soil properties and ground motion characteristics on permanent displacements of slopes

Alamanis N., Dakoulas P. (2022)

The seismic performance of earth slopes is a problem of great importance in geotechnical earthquake engineering associated with various sources of uncertainty. This research investigates the effects of two important causes ...
Sand fabric evolution effects on drain design for liquefaction mitigation

Bouckovalas, G. D.; Papadimitriou, A. G.; Niarchos, D. G.; Tsiapas, Y. T. (2011)

This paper revisits the seminal work of Seed and Booker (1977) [21] on the design of infinitely permeable drains for liquefaction mitigation. It is shown that their basic mathematical assumption for the rate of earthquake-induced ...
