soil structure

Encyclopedic Dictionary of Archaeology, 2014
Soil structure refers to the arrangement of the primary soil particles sand, silt and clay into peds or aggregates. A modern definition recognises the importance of soil pores by referring to soil structure as the size, shape and arrangement of solids ...

Nonlinear Soil–Foundation–Structure and Structure–Soil–Structure Interaction: Engineering Demands

Journal of Structural Engineering, 2015
AbstractTwo geotechnical centrifuge tests were designed to elicit the influence of soil–foundation–structure interaction (SFSI) and structure–soil–structure interaction (SSSI) effects on the seismic demands of an inelastic frame structure founded on individual spread footings. Four experimental cases were considered: (1) SFSI of an individual inelastic

Soil fauna and soil structure

Australian Journal of Soil Research, 1991
Significant effects of soil fauna on soil structure are achieved mainly by a few groups among the larger soil invertebrates that are widely distributed and generally present in large numbers. Of these groups the most important are earthworms, termites and ants.

Structure‐soil‐structure interaction of adjacent buildings subjected to seismic loading

Earthquake engineering & structural dynamics (Print), 2019
The problem of the through‐soil coupling of structures has puzzled the researchers in the field for a long while, especially regarding the varied performance of identical, adjacent buildings in earthquakes.

SOIL-STRUCTURE AND SOIL-STRUCTURE-SOIL INTERACTION: EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE AT THE VOLVI TEST SITE

Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2005
This paper shows the results of two passive experiments carried out at the European Volvi test site where a scaled building has been constructed. The first experiment was performed to study the motion of the structure excited by two small earthquakes. For one month, six strong-motion recorders were installed within the structure, at the top and at the ...
