Tsunami induced by subaerial landslides threatens coastal areas. The waves have mostly been studied in the laboratory using sliding blocks or granular media hitting a water body, but none of these materials makes it possible to understand how sliding mass’ ...
Energy piles, due to their dual roles, are exposed to temperature change throughout their life time, which may cause axial displacements, additional axial stresses and changes in the shaft resistance along their lengths. The extent of these effects highly ...
Post-earthquake residual deformations often control decisions regarding potential demolition of earthquake-damaged buildings. While residual deformations are typically assumed to be lateral, the column residual axial shortening has similar implications for ...
This paper investigates the anisotropic hydro-mechanical behaviour of Opalinus Clay shale, the host material currently being considered for the construction of a nuclear waste repository in Switzerland. Consolidated and drained triaxial tests on Opalinus C ...
Rances in the north of Vaud suffered last year from the effects of large soil movement. Rances became the new playground where MeduSoil technology was tested as a remediation for this type of events. This is a decisive new step, after the technology has be ...
Earthquake-induced collapse risk assessment of steel frame buildings requires the use of simulation models that can realistically replicate dynamic instability of frame buildings. Such models for steel columns should consider the coupling between the axial ...
Granular geophysical flows are composed by particles of different sizes that segregate under the action of gravity and shear-induced dilatancy. Size segregation is the physical process by which small particle percolate through gaps left by the relative mov ...
Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis (NLFEA) of the inelastic behaviour of RC walls are often carried out for uni-directional (in-plane) horizontal cyclic loading. In this paper the behaviour of RC walls with different cross-sections (T-shaped and U-shaped) s ...
Recent experiments on steel columns under multi-axis cyclic loading suggest that a steel column may experience appreciable axial shortening due to local buckling. Reconnaissance reports from recent earthquakes indicate that a number of embedded column base ...
Steel concentrically braced frame (CBFs) are widely used as a laterally-resisting system in the case of seismic actions as they are generally easier and faster to erect, and in most cases, they cost less than moment-resisting frame system. However, special ...
