The liquefaction resistant rigid-drainage pile is a new type of pile which can be used in geotechnical earthquake engineering. The pile combines the bearing capacity of rigid pile and the drain-ability of gravel pile. Ba...

The earthquake liquefaction is one of the direct causes for unstable ground and damage of upper structure. Therefore, the liquefaction assessment is an important part of anti-seismic investigation in engineering. By taki...

This book, intended for students of Architecture or structural engineering, addresses the basis of structural design according to procedures and provisions set in the Spanish Building Technical Code (CTE DB-SE & CTE DB S...

The analysis of the stability of slopes is a key aspect in the design of any infrastructure such as roads, railways, canals, pipelines and dams as well as in mining operations. For common infrastructures, slopes reach he...

Earthquakes are natural disasters that occur suddenly and can cause severe impacts, both in terms of structural damage and human casualties. To reduce the risks and consequences, an early warning system that provides rap...

This review addresses the urgent need for scalable, accurate, and reproducible remote sensing solutions following the February 2023 Türkiye earthquakes. It synthesizes the contributions of five peer-reviewed studi...

All industrial products are destined to be museum someday. This means that industrial products are cultural property. When a cultural property is lost, society as a whole is damaged. However, if cultural properties take ...

An earthquake is a vibration that occurs due to plates at the base of the earth rubbing against each other. An earthquake can have several impacts, namely material loss and loss of life and trauma for some people who fee...

The property of the soil in free field is an important influencing factor for the free field seismic response. In the existing studies the soil at local site is supposed to be the single-phase medium or saturated porous ...
