Nonlinear behavior at the soil–foundation interface due to mobilization of the ultimate
capacity and the associated energy dissipation, particularly in an intense earthquake event …

Stability analysis of earth slopes can be carried out by either limit equilibrium method (LEM)
or finite element method (FEM). The LEM has inherent limitations as it does not consider the …

The spatial variability of soil properties has a significant effect on the seismic responses of
sites. Considering that the probability density evolution method (PDEM), an efficient …

In the present study, the emphasis is made on the seismic performance of nuclear
containment constructed on layered medium to dense silty sand soil considering the …

This paper presents the applications of probabilistic methods to analyze the load-
displacement behavior of shallow foundations supported by uncertain and spatially variable …

This study focuses on the seismic response analysis of an internal shearwall of a typical
Indian reactor resting on a medium dense sandy silty soil, incorporating the nonlinear …

The nonlinear behavior of a soil-foundation system may alter the seismic response of a
structure by providing additional fl exibility to the system and dissipating hysteretic energy at …

Abstract Design of critical facilities such as nuclear power plant requires an accurate and
precise evaluation of seismic demands, as any failure of these facilities poses immense …

The major objective of this paper is to quantify the effects of uncertainties in soil properties
and loading conditions on the performance of rocking foundations during seismic loading …

The interaction between a foundation and its supporting soil involves several different
energy dissipation mechanisms. For example, sliding of a foundation element is a soil …
