Geotechnical seismic isolation (GSI) system involves the dynamic interaction between
structure and low‐modulus foundation material, such as rubber‐soil mixtures (RSM). Whilst …

A new seismic design philosophy is illuminated, taking advantage of soil “failure” to protect
the superstructure. Instead of over-designing the foundation to ensure that the loading …

The effectiveness of structural fuse mechanisms used to improve the performance of
buildings during seismic loading depends on their capacity, ductility, energy dissipation …

A numerical model was developed to simulate the response of two instrumented, centrifuge
model tests on soft clay and to investigate the factors that affect the seismic ground …

The nonlinear response of shallow foundations has been studied experimentally and
analytically. However, the engineering community is not yet convinced of the applicability of …

The capability of a simplified approach to model the behaviour of shallow foundations during
earthquakes is explored by numerical simulation of a series of shaking table tests performed …

This paper explores the effectiveness of a new approach to foundation seismic design.
Instead of the present practice of over‐design, the foundations are intentionally under …

The response of surface foundations to large overturning moments is studied under
undrained conditions. Rigid circular, strip, and rectangular footings of various aspect ratios …

This paper reports the experimental results from two geotechnical centrifuge tests examining
seismic soil–foundation–structure interaction of frame structures. In the first test, two three …

This article studies the seismic performance of a rocking-isolated bridge pier on surface
foundation, resting on sand. A series of reduced-scale shaking table tests are conducted …
