This research presents the square root sum of squares response of displacements and
tunnel moments under the Kobe and Loma Prieta seismic excitations with a peak ground …

Successful operation of infrastructure, such as the road, rail, and utility networks, are
fundamental to modern living, and failure of these can have significant consequences. Yet …

Settlement limitation is one of the major concerns for the designers of machine foundation as
machines are very sensitive to settlement. This restricted criterion necessitates the need for …

No attention is given in previous studies to understand the influence of the sophistication of
the soil constitutive model on the seismic behaviour of piles, although the seismic analysis of …

In this study a coupled-eulerian–lagrangian (CEL) approach has been applied to assess the
internal blast loading conditions, for the tunnel built in three layers of sandstone rock. The …

Shield tunnels assembled with general ring segments are widely used in urban areas.
Segment assembly methods and widths cause changes in the mechanical properties of the …

There is an increased demand on the use of microtunnelling for the installation of new
buried pipelines. However, the effect of microtunnelling on the performance of pavements is …

The tunnels in present-day cities are experiencing varying degrees of loading conditions
ranging from static to extreme loading. Therefore, the stability of underground tunnels needs …

The large squeezing deformation is a characteristic disaster in tunnel construction under
complex geological conditions. This study presents a case study on the squeezing …

Tunnel–medium interaction problems are one of the important problems in engineering.
Because it has a high risk in terms of reliability, tunnel structures should be modeled in …
