Book Developments in Dynamic Soil Structure Interaction

Download or read book Developments in Dynamic Soil Structure Interaction written by Polat Gülkan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the last couple of decades it has been recognized that the foundation material on which a structure is constructed may interact dynamically with the structure during its response to dynamic excitation to the extent that the stresses and deflections in the system are modified from the values that would have been developed if it had been on a rigid foundation. This phenomenon is examined in detail in the book. The basic solutions are examined in time and frequency domains and finite element and boundary element solutions compared. Experimental investigations aimed at correlation and verification with theory are described in detail. A wide variety of SSI problems may be formulated and solved approximately using simplified models in lieu of rigorous procedures; the book gives a good overview of these methods. A feature which often lacks in other texts on the subject is the way in which dynamic behavior of soil can be modeled. Two contributors have addressed this problem from the computational and physical characterization viewpoints. The book illustrates practical areas with the analysis of tunnel linings and stiffness and damping of pile groups. Finally, design code provisions and derivation of design input motions complete this thorough overview of SSI in conventional engineering practice. Taken in its entirety the book, authored by fifteen well known experts, gives an in-depth review of soil-structure interaction across a broad spectrum of aspects usually not covered in a single volume. It should be a readily useable reference for the research worker as well as the advance level practitioner. (abstract) This book treats the dynamic soil-structure interaction phenomenon across a broad spectrum of aspects ranging from basic theory, simplified and rigorous solution techniques and their comparisons as well as successes in predicting experimentally recorded measurements. Dynamic soil behavior and practical problems are given thorough coverage. It is intended to serve both as a readily understandable reference work for the researcher and the advanced-level practitioner.

Book Dynamic Soil Structure Interaction

Download or read book Dynamic Soil Structure Interaction written by C. Zhang and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1998-09-22 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dynamic Soil-structure interaction is one of the major topics in earthquake engineering and soil dynamics since it is closely related to the safety evaluation of many important engineering projects, such as nuclear power plants, to resist earthquakes. In dealing with the analysis of dynamic soil-structure interactions, one of the most difficult tasks is the modeling of unbounded media. To solve this problem, many numerical methods and techniques have been developed. This book summarizes the most recent developments and applications in the field of dynamic soil-structure interaction, both in China and Switzerland.An excellent book for scientists and engineers in civil engineering, structural engineering, geotechnical engineering and earthquake engineering.

Book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Oata Analysis and Synthesis (CINOAS) * at Purdue. University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 33 (thesis year 1988) a total of 13,273 theses titles from 23 Canadian and 1 85 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 33 reports theses submitted in 1988, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book Dynamic Stresses in Foundation Soils from Soil Structure Interaction

Download or read book Dynamic Stresses in Foundation Soils from Soil Structure Interaction written by Bahareh Heidarzadeh and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dynamic Stresses in Foundation Soils from Soil-Structure Interaction by Bahareh Heidarzadeh Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of California, Los Angeles, Fall 2015 Professor Jonathan P. Stewart, Chair Professor George Mylonakis, Co-Chair This research concerns the impacts of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) on the seismic stress demands in soil materials beneath the foundation, referred to as 'foundation soils'. Engineering procedures for evaluation of these stress demands are needed for a variety of applications including ground failure evaluation in foundation soils and possible impacts of SSI on buried structures such as pipelines. Conventional engineering practice typically ignores SSI during evaluation of the seismic stress demands in foundation soils based on the perception that this demand is dominated by wave propagation from site response. The goals of this study are to show how the presence of a structure affects wave propagation in the vicinity of the foundation due to SSI and to propose rigorous procedures by which to assess these demands due to vertical or horizontal point loads, line loads, or arbitrary combinations of these acting within a foundation area. Following an exhaustive literature review, I find that while integral transform methods exist to evaluate the response of foundation soils to surface loads, such approaches have two major limitations: (1) the resulting equations are so complex that closed form solutions for stresses produced by harmonic surface loads are absent in the literature, despite over a century of research in this subject; and (2) the resulting equations can be solved numerically, but only one such study has been conducted, and that work has limited practical applicability. Accordingly, I solve the governing equations numerically for harmonically applied surface loads (horizontal and vertical, point and line) acting on a visco-elastic halfspace using the Boundary Element Method via a well-verified software platform (ISoBEM). The results are interpreted within a framework derived from dimensional analysis considerations, specifically applying the Buckingham theorem to determine the dimensionless fundamental parameters applicable to these problems. I demonstrate that induced stresses normalize using appropriate dimensionless variables, and that these normalized stresses have clear dependencies on dimensionless frequency, location within the soil, and soil Poisson's ratio. Moreover, I demonstrate that phase angle is associated with wave travel times from source to the point of interest in the foundation soil, and as such varies with aperture angle due to variations in body and surface wave radiation patterns from horizontal and vertical surface loads. Results for the amplitude and phase of all relevant stress components are presented in dimensionless graphical forms and the effects of fundamental parameters for each case are discussed. For the case of loads applied to rigid surface foundations, I evaluate the distribution of normal and shear stresses at the base of the foundations. Finally, for the flexible foundation case I have developed and verified a numerical code that applies superposition principles to combine soil stress demands associated with uniformly distributed surface loads.
