This research experimentally addresses the seismic response of a cylindrical liquid storage
tank in terms of six factors, ie, acceleration, displacement, hoop and axial stresses in the …

Aboveground liquid storage tanks are often found on weak compressive soil due to their
proximity to harbours and rivers. These soil conditions lead to a high probability of significant …

The influence of soil on the dynamic response of soil‐structure systems is usually studied on
a stand‐alone (SA) structure, even though closely adjacent structures form the vast majority …

This paper presents results from geotechnical centrifuge tests performed at the Japanese
Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (JNIOSH) in Tokyo, Japan. A range of shallow …

In conventional seismic design, bridges usually are assumed to be fixed to a rigid support.
This assumption, however, does not correspond to the reality of bridges with shallow …

Placement of shallow foundations near or adjacent to slopes reduces their seismic and static
bearing capacities. In this paper, the seismic behavior of shallow foundations adjacent to …

The calculation of the long-term dynamic bearing capacity arises from the need to consider
the generation of maximum pore-water pressure developed from a cyclic load. Under …

This study was initiated following recognition that most structures exist, not in isolation, but in
a setting where there is sharing of the common supporting foundation soil. Generally …

This chapter addresses the behaviour of bridges with supporting soil under dynamic loads.
The bridge structure can be described as a single degree-of-freedom (DOF), multi-DOF, or …

Rocking footing has been increasingly considered as a possibility for low-damage designed
bridges. While most of the studies on rockable bridges have been conducted under a single …
