Near-surface geophysics uses the investigational methods of geophysics to study the nature
of the very outermost part of the earth's crust. Man interacts with this part of the earth's crust …

A multimodal approach to nondestructive seismic pavement testing is described. The
presented approach is based on multichannel analysis of all types of seismic waves …

This paper investigates the axial load transfer during seismic events for pile groups installed
in loose and dense sand layers. The analysis was conducted employing three-dimensional …

Ground vibrations generated by construction activities can adversely affect the structural
health of adjacent buildings and foundations supporting them. Therefore propagation and …

An investigation is presented of the use of finite element models in the time domain to
represent a load moving on a railway track on a flexible ground. A systematic study is carried …

Bender elements are piezoelectric transducers frequently employed for the measurement of
the small-strain shear modulus of soils. The measurement is based on transmission of a …

Damage detection is one of the most important major branches of non-destructive
evaluation. In this study, a damage detection method for localization and size quantification …

This paper presents two-dimensional (2D) nonlinear dynamic finite element (FE) modeling
of a large-scale shake table test conducted at the E-Defense shake table facility in Japan …

This paper compares simple constitutive models that are widely used in engineering
practice with more sophisticated methods in the context of a case study. In particular, four …

Nonlinear wave mixing provides a potential method to evaluate localized micro‐damage in
structures. The wave mixing technique has some unique advantages over the nonlinear …
