Numerical Analysis of Earthquake Load Mitigation on Rigid Retaining Walls Using EPS Geofoam
The mitigation of seismic-induced dynamic earth forces by placing a vertical layer of expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam buffer between a rigid retaining wall and the backfill soil is a recent geotechnical innovation. In this paper, the influence of an EPS geofoam buffer on the reduction of dynamic wall forces is numerically studied by simulating the results of three reduced-scale models of rig...
متن کاملBridge foundations supported by EPS geofoam embankments on soft soil
EPS geofoam can be used to support highway bridge structures without the aid of deep foundations. The development of this technology is important to accelerate construction on soft compressible soil. EPS geofoam allows for the rapid construction of bridge foundations on such soils without the time and cost involved in installing traditional foundations. Because EPS geofoam is an extremely light...
متن کاملMULTIPLIERS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING
In this paper we shall study the multipliers on Banach algebras and We prove some results concerning Arens regularity and amenability of the Banach algebra M(A) of all multipliers on a given Banach algebra A. We also show that, under special hypotheses, each Jordan multiplier on a Banach algebra without order is a multiplier. Finally, we present some applications of m...
متن کاملInvestigating surface fault Rupture Hazard Mitigation for shallow foundations by EPS wall using Numerical studies
Observing destroyed engineered structures and induced fatality due to faulting motivated engineers to consider possible solution for reducing damage to structures. Mitigations countermeasures should be applied when elusion is not possible. Finite element analyses verified through centrifuge model experiments is implemented in this study. Considering different fault dip Angel, critical position ...
متن کاملInnovations in Sustainable Earthquake Resisting Rocking Wall-Frames
This paper introduces a novel design concept for the development of efficient, sustainable Rocking-Wall Moment Frames (RWMFs) under seismic conditions. The proposed concepts lead to a novel structural configuration with provisions for Collapse Prevention (CP), Self-Centering (SC), reparability, performance control (PC), damage reduction, and energy based seismic analysis. It introduces the meri...
