The paper focusses on the use of physical modelling in ground movements (induced by
underground cavity collapse or mining/tunnelling) and associated soil-structure interaction …

Abstract The Directional Long Borehole (DLB) technique, which has the benefits of low
construction costs and high drainage efficiency, will be extensively used in future mining …

In many engineering applications the limit analysis theorems can be used to estimate the
ultimate capacity of several structures. However, the limit analysis can be applied on …

Urbanisation will require significant expansion of underground infrastructure, which results
in unavoidable ground displacements that affect the built environment. Predicting the …

An efficient probabilistic approach is presented to consider the uncertainty related to the
evaluation of the transmission of ground movements to structures considering the influence …

This paper shows the results of a numerical analysis carried out using the equivalent frame
method, which aimed to investigate the three-dimensional behaviour of masonry buildings …

In this study, a system of discontinuous rigid blocks is employed to simulate the possible
damage mechanisms in unreinforced masonry (URM) façades and load-bearing frame …

Strengthened masonry buildings are one of the most common types of old structure usually
located in the ancient Algerian urban nuclei. The present study focused on common …

The objective of this paper is to investigate the influence of various geometrical uncertainties
of analytical modelling affecting the evaluation of building deflections induced by tunnelling …

De nombreux bâtiments peuvent être endommagés par des mouvements de terrain
associés à des excavations souterraines, des tunnels, des mines ou des excavations en …
