The paper is focused on the assessment of seismic fragility curves for circular tunnels under
moderate to severe earthquakes with the aim of improving the reliability of the risk …

Assessment of the seismic slope stability in terms of a factor of safety (FoS) is often
addressed using pseudo-static approaches neglecting material-induced failure and the role …

This paper proposed the explicit generalized-α time scheme and periodic boundary
conditions in the material point method (MPM) for the simulation of coseismic site response …

In this paper the seismic response of a well-documented Chinese rockfill dam, Yele dam, is
simulated and investigated employing the dynamic hydro-mechanically (HM) coupled finite …

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of dam–reservoir interaction (DRI) on
the nonlinear seismic response of earth dams. Although DRI effects have for long been …

The relative effects of dam–reservoir interaction on the dynamic response of concrete and
earth dams are studied. The amplification of accelerations at the dam crest is explored under …

This paper investigates the seismic performance of rooted granular slopes using dynamic
finite-element analysis, validated against recently published centrifuge test data. The …

In the last decades, Italy has experienced several strong earthquakes, triggering the
attention on the high seismic risk associated with the potential instability of large existing …

A method is proposed to estimate the degradation of the first natural frequency of vibration of
earthen dams with increase in strain levels induced due to seismic events. A synthesised …

In upstream faced earth dams all possible seismic-induced damages may be expressed
using crest settlement as indicator, which may be predicted using complete dynamic …
