The paper compares the performance of two FEM approaches in reproducing response bare frame structures to tunneling dry dense sand. A fully coupled approach, which tunnel, frame, and soil are accounted for, is compared with a two-stage method incorporating simpler structural models. validated against centrifuge test results sand beneath frames founded on either rafts or separate footings. Both ...

The issue of interaction between nearby footings is paramount practical significance. interference effect should be taken into account since the footing may really separated from or bounded by other on one both sides. In this regard, paper studies two interfering strip embedded in saturated cohesive soils, which will help to provide a better understanding impact depth effect. A numerical study ...

Abstract In this transcribed conversation, three artists from the U.K. research group The Cultural Negotiation of Science (CNoS) share generational perspectives they bring to contested field arts-science research. Traversing territories between art-practice, physics, genetics and critical theory, their practice-based strategies actively destabilize binary nature cross-disciplinary dialogue in p...
