Measurement of ground borne vibrations for foundation design and vibration isolation of a high-precision instrument
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2016)
This study focuses on the foundation design and vibration isolation of a high-precision instrument subjected to ground-borne vibrations. The allowable vibration level for the proper operation of the sensitive equipment was ...
Assessment of racking deformation of rectangular underground structures by centrifuge tests
(Ice Publishing, 2015)
Seismic safety of buried structures has become increasingly important over the past two decades, especially after the destructive earthquakes such as in Kobe, Japan (1995), Kocaeli, Turkey (1999) and Chi-Chi, Taiwan (1999). ...
Prediction of earthquake-induced permanent deformations for concrete-faced rockfill dams
(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2020)
Prior studies highlight the importance of earthquake-induced permanent displacement for the safety assessment of the embankment dams. Concrete-faced rockfill dams (CFRDs) have become popular at especially seismically active ...
Screening effectiveness of open and in-filled wave barriers: A full-scale experimental study
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2015)
The isolation of ground-borne vibrations caused by heavy traffic, construction activities and railway transportation has gained importance in recent years with rapid urbanization. Open or in-filled trenches have commonly ...
Dynamic response of a flexible rectangular underground structure in sand: centrifuge modeling
(Springer, 2015)
Major earthquakes such as Kobe (1995), Kocaeli (1999) and Chi-Chi (Taiwan) have shown that underground structures have suffered significant damage due to dynamic loading. Therefore, recently, much priority has been given ...
A full-scale field study on mitigation of environmental ground vibrations by using open trenches
(Elsevier, 2021)
Environmental ground vibrations induced by construction operations, machine foundations, vehicular and railway traffic may cause discomfort to the dwellers in their immediate vicinity and malfunctioning of sensitive equipment ...
Assessing vibration isolation performance of single and coupled wave barriers through field experiments
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022)
Wave barriers have become a common practice in the mitigation of undesired ground vibrations when direct isolation of the source has not been applicable. Even though the vibration isolation performance of open and in-filled ...
