Current seismic codes propose designing all new buildings in isolation from their
neighbours. As a result, all modified seismic risks associated with interbuilding dynamic …

In this paper, the authors discuss the extensive structural pounding observed in Mexico City
during the September 19, 2017 earthquake. A critical review of the recommendations …

Earthquake-induced liquefaction is likely to cause uplift displacements of underground
structures and excessive settlements of surface structures. While these two phenomena …

With the rapid advancement of urbanization in recent decades, a large number of surface
dense buildings have appeared. Soil-structure cluster interaction (SSCI) has attracted …

Frequently, buildings in urban areas are designed by considering their stand‐alone
response, that is, as single structures with no neighboring buildings. Nevertheless, the …

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 …

Observations in major earthquakes have shown that rockable structures suffered less to no
damage. During rocking, that is, partial and temporary footing separations, the influx of …

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 …

Rapid and unplanned urbanization is one of the biggest problems of the modern age and it
occasionally leads to the destruction of historical and cultural structures. Hence, several …

The structure-soil-structure interaction (SSSI) effect in adjacent structures may affect the
liquefaction-induced damage of shallow foundation structures. The existing studies only …
