investigating the parameters influencing the behavior of buried pipelines under dynamic loading is of great importance. in this study the soil structure interaction of the pipelines with the surrounding soil was addressed using shaking table tests. wave propagation along the soil layers was also included in the study. the semi infinite nature of the field was simulated using a laminar shear box...

This study presents a large-scale shaking table investigation aimed at the development of dual, low-cost hybrid design approach for reduction seismic damage in developing countries. The introduction novel isolation strategy, defined as ‘PVC sand-wich’ lies core proposed approach. latter relates to conventional, ‘good practice’ (including steel wire mesh wall retrofit and connecting ties) that p...

This study fabricated friction pendulum (FP) and rolling (RP) seismic isolation systems using 3D printing to conduct 1g shaking table tests of pile-supported structure models incorporating these systems. The test results indicate that, when the FP bearing was applied pile heads, acceleration response decreased once began operate; as input earthquake frequency increased (1, 3, 10 Hz), system eng...
