We analyze the problem of a heterogeneous formulation of the equation of motion and
propose a new 3D fourth-order staggered-grid finite-difference (FD) scheme for modeling …

An extensive investigation has been made into the interaction between topographic
amplification and soil layer amplification of seismic ground motion. This interaction is …

Recent researches have revealed that the seismic ground response above tunnels can be
different from the free-field motion during earthquakes. Nevertheless, to the best of the …

Buildings located on hill slopes are subjected to additional effects under seismic action
compared with those on flat ground. This article presents Incremental Dynamic Analyses of …

In this paper, a half-plane time-domain boundary element method (BEM) was presented for
analysing the 2-D scalar wave problems in a homogenous isotropic linear elastic medium …

A direct half-plane time-domain boundary element method (BEM) was developed and
successfully applied to analyze the transient response of ground surface in the presence of …

The characteristics between offshore and onshore ground motions are different based on
the complex geological structure of the seabed. But the influence of seabed topography on …

In this paper, the effects of two long unsupported parallel tunnels on the seismic response of
the ground surface are studied, using the boundary element method in the time-domain. The …

This paper extends a method, which has been previously called half-plane time-domain
boundary element method (BEM) and successfully applied to 2-D concave topographies, for …

In this paper, the method of combining indirect boundary element method (IBEM) with the
region-matching technique is used to solve the seismic responses of a three-dimensional …
