Abstract The open or in-filled trenches are often used in engineering practice to mitigate ground vibration induced by different types of sources. A novel approach which is considering the effect Rayleigh wavelength on efficiency and coupled with regular specific normalized dimensions was implemented this study. While impact loading a very common type (in, e.g., machine foundations, driven pile...

Abstract Shell folded footings have drawn the interest of researchers for decades as an alternative to typical flat isolated because can reduce needed amount reinforced concrete in addition enhancing overall geotechnical performance supporting soil medium. The main setback utilizing such is relatively complex geometry bottom cavity, which requires proper compaction used fill that cavity. Curren...
