The paper reviews the state-of-the-art of analysing the dynamic response of foundations
subjected to machine-type loadings. Following a brief outline of the historical developments …

An inexpensive and realistic procedure is developed for estimating the lateral dynamic
stiffness and damping of flexible piles embedded in arbitrarily layered soil deposits. Starting …

A significant number of cases of damage to piles and pile-supported structures during
earthquakes have been observed, but few instrumented records of the response and …

A rational dynamic soil-pile interaction model is presented. The model is developed
adopting Winkler's hypothesis with a special attention to the conditions in which the strong …

Methods of assessing, for preliminary design purposes, the stiffness and capacity of pile
foundations under seismic forces are presented. Although the main thrust of the paper is to …

A simple model is developed to obtain radiation damping coefficients of soil-foundation
systems, for both plane-strain and axisymmetric loading conditions. Despite the simplifying …

Abstract Gentle Driving of Piles (GDP) is a new technology for the vibratory installation of
tubular (mono) piles. Its founding principle is that both efficient installation and low noise …

A macroscopic model that consists of distributed hysteretic springs and frequency
dependent-pots is utilized to model the lateral soil reaction and a practical method based on …

Soil conditions have a great deal to do with damage to structures during earthquakes. This
paper attempts to assess the influence of dynamic soil–structure interaction (SSI) on the …

A number of solutions are presented for the static, dynamic, and seismic response of single
piles, pile groups, and pile-group-supported bridge piers, on homogeneous and layered soil …
