In selecting the type of foundation best suited for mid-rise buildings in high risk seismic
zones, design engineers may consider that a shallow foundation, a pile foundation, or a pile …

Shallow footings are one of the most common types of foundations used to support mid-rise
buildings in high risk seismic zones. Recent findings have revealed that the dynamic …

Pile foundation is an effective technique to support buildings in the presence of soft soil and
seismic areas. More recently, the rigid inclusions system has also been utilized for founding …

Because of the large stress gradient in the coated structure and the more and more thin
thickness of coating, it is too hard to guarantee the calculation accuracy by the commercial …

Neighbouring buildings, even though disconnected from the structural viewpoint, may
interact through the underlying soil especially when they are founded on very soft soils …

Due to the strong reduction of the coating thickness and to the large stress gradient that may
occur in coated structures, it is hard to guarantee the calculation accuracy in the design of …

This paper studies the coupling responses for a foundation–soil system undergoing
horizontal forces and rocking moments. A numerical program is developed to perform a …

The 3D dynamic response of twin rigid massless foundations under concurrent time-
harmonic loads in a finite soil region resting on a homogeneous visco-elastic half-space is …

Many historic centers in Italy and around the world consist of ancient masonry buildings
closely packed together or constructed in clusters for defensive purposes. Alternatively, the …
