Vulnerability is a fundamental component of risk and its understanding is important for
characterising the reliability of infrastructure assets and systems and for mitigating risks. The …

This paper presents a comprehensive review on different theoretical elastic and viscoelastic
foundation models in oscillatory systems. The review covers the simplest foundation models …

The process of soil response influencing motion of the structure and vice-versa is termed as
soil-structure interaction (SSI). SSI has been traditionally considered to be beneficial to …

This paper reviews, synthesises and benchmarks new understandings relating to railway
vibrations. Firstly, the effect of vibrations on passenger comfort is evaluated, followed by its …

The high profile failure of the Malahide Viaduct in Dublin, Ireland, which is a part of the EU
TEN-T network of critical transport links, was caused by foundation scour. Scour is a …

As typical and significant structural elements, double-beam systems widely exist in practical
engineering applications such as some subgrades and highway bridges. This paper focuses …

Rapid expansion of the offshore wind industry has stimulated a renewed interest in the
behaviour of offshore piles. There is widespread acceptance in practice that pile design …

The role of the seismic soil–pile–structure interaction (SSPSI) is usually considered
beneficial to the structural system under seismic loading since it lengthens the lateral …

In this study, a modified finite element method (FEM) that can be used to analyse the
transverse vibrations of a Timoshenko beam, made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) …

The present article aims to provide an overview of the consequences of dynamic soil-
structure interaction (SSI) on building structures and the available modelling techniques to …
