A complete review on scale model testing for buildings, considering a wide range of
methodologies and new manufacturing techniques, in areas such as statics and dynamics …

Solve Complex Ground and Foundation Problems Presenting more than 25 years of
teaching and working experience in a wide variety of centrifuge testing, the author of …

Earth platforms supported by rigid columns provide an effective solution for embankments
founded on thick deposits of soft soils. Nevertheless, the failure mechanisms and associated …

Additive manufacturing can be used for the construction of small-scale specimens that are
useful for the understanding of the seismic behavior of conventionally constructed masonry …

Abstract Knowledge regarding the stability of geosynthetics-reinforced column-supported
railway embankment (GRCSE) on soft foundation is of great significance for transportation …

Motivated by the need to develop rational design methods for the retrofit of existing bridges
on pile groups, this paper introduces recent experimental developments at the ETH Zurich …

The tunnel portal is a seismically weak part of the tunnel. To improve the seismic
performance of the tunnel portal, reliable portal slope reinforcement measures were …

Concrete columns are used to support embankments built on soft soils. Use of three groups
of centrifuge model tests, this study exhibited the global performance of embankments …

This paper proposes a new set of scaling laws for the study of the post-cracking behaviour of
lightly reinforced concrete tunnel linings during 1g shaking table testing. The post-cracking …

Experimental proof is provided of an unconventional seismic design concept, which is based
on deliberately underdesigning shallow foundations to promote intense rocking oscillations …
