Soil Microbial Networks Shift Across a High-Elevation Successional Gradient. [PDF]

, 2019
While it is well established that microbial composition and diversity shift along environmental gradients, how interactions among microbes change is poorly understood.

Pounding effects during an earthquake, with and without consideration of soil‑structure interaction [PDF]

Constructii: Journal of Civil Engineering Research, 2015
The pounding between adjacent buildings can cause both architectural and structural damages. The paper presents some aspects related to the Vrancea seismic motions pattern, a review of observed damages after a strong earthquake due to pounding of ...

3D non-linear time domain FEM-BEM approach to soil-structure interaction problems [PDF]

, 2013
Dynamic soil-structure interaction is concerned with the study of structures supported on flexible soils and subjected to dynamic actions. Methods combining the finite element method (FEM) and the boundary element method (BEM) are well suited to address ...

Study on mechanical properties and modification mechanisms of construction waste soil modified by activated clay-calcium carbide slag

Materials Research Express
The disposal of construction waste soil has become a major challenge for sustainable infrastructure development. Currently, conventional binders such as cement and lime are widely employed for the stabilization of construction waste soil.

Ground-Motion Modification by Soil, Structures, and Topography: A Review of Soil Structure Interaction (SSI) and Its Multi-Scale Extensions

Buildings
The effect of an earthquake on any structure is primarily determined by both its inherent properties and the surrounding environmental conditions. When seismic waves pass through different media, their characteristics and properties, such as amplitude ...

Dynamic impedances of bridge abutments [PDF]

, 1992
The soil-structure interaction at bridge abutments may introduce important changes in the dynamic properties of short to medium span bridges. The paper presents the results obtained, through the use of the Boundary Element Method (B.E.M.) technique in ...

Examining the results of the experimental solution with a focus to elastic effect area [PDF]

, 2018
Problematic of soil - structure - interaction is subject of research for many years, however satisfactory accuracy of numerical models has not been achieved yet. Therefore, it is necessary to examine this phenomenon. For this purpose, special testing

A Simplified Computation of the Interactive Behavior between Soils and Framed Structures

Journal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences, 2003
In common structural design practice, the foundation loads from structure analysis are obtained without allowance for soil settlements, and the foundation settlements are estimated under the assumption of a perfectly flexible structure.
