In this paper the dynamic response of the ground surface subjected to vertically traveling two dimensional harmonic SH waves in the presence of a single or two canyons is investigated using boundary element method. The models consist of one and two semicircular ...

Stonecutters Bridge will have a main span of 1018m to cross the Rambler Channel in Hong Kong, China. The 1596m long cable stayed bridge has a steel main span and concrete back spans. The tapered mono column towers stand on the bridge centre line between the ...

In this study, the frequency domain dynamic response of a pile embedded in a porous medium and subjected to SH seismic waves is investigated. The surrounding porous medium of the pile is described by Biot’s theory, while the pile embedded in the porous medium ...
