A coupled hydro-mechanical formulation is presented for the analysis of landslide motion during crisis episodes. The mathematical formulation is used to model a natural slope affected by a multiple slip surface failure mechanism, in which pore water pressu ...
A geomechanical model was developed to analyse the behaviour of a natural slope located on the bank of the Rhine River between the towns of Stein and Mumpf in Switzerland. The slope is affected by a landslide and three strategic infrastructure assets are l ...
The paper presents a fault location procedure for distribution networks based on the wavelet analysis of the fault-generated traveling waves. In particular, the proposed procedure implements the continuous wavelet analysis applied to the voltage waveforms ...
AB: The accurate prediction of near-source strong-ground motions in future earthquakes is a major challenge for seismologists and earthquake engineers. Such a prediction is however difficult, partly because ground motions are highly variable while the reas ...
The paper illustrates a procedure based on the continuous-wavelet transform (CWT) for the analysis of voltage transients due to line faults, and discusses its application to fault location in power distribution systems. The analysis carried out shows that ...
Methods aimed at locating the position where a fault is occurred can be seen as part of a complex measurement system oriented at more general power quality purposes. This paper faces the comparison between two methods recently proposed in literature for fa ...
Interplay between capillary, gravity and viscous forces in unsaturated fractures gives rise to a range of complex flow phenomena. Evidence of highly intermittent fluxes, preferential and sustainable flow pathways lead to potentially significant flow focusi ...
The seismic behavior of asymmetric building structures is often complex and reductions to plane problems which can be analyzed with a single horizontal ground-motion component are often deemed unsatisfactory. As a consequence, dynamic structural analyses w ...

This work presents a method for estimating the expected damage caused by an earthquake on steel buildings in Puerto Rico. Since Puerto Rico is located between a series of tectonic faults, buildings could suffer the damages caused by a major earthquake. The ...
