Buried pipe systems are critical infrastructural components where the interaction between soil and structure plays a defining role in performance and longevity. This interaction encompasses a range of ...

In a significant advancement for geotechnical engineering, a refined space-time finite element method (v-ST/FEM) has been introduced to tackle the complex dynamics of soil-structure interaction during ...

This course focuses on the fundamentals of soil dynamics and on its use for geotechnical design and risk assessment in areas of high seismicity. Emphasis will be given to the processes that control ...

Pile group interaction during lateral loading reduces lateral resistance. Based on full-scale lateral pile group testing, the reduction is a function of pile spacing, row position and soil type.
