<p>This monograph is intended to be used as a &ldquo;PB Guideline&rdquo; for assessing tunnelling-induced risks to adjacent structures in urban environments. It is expected that it will also promote awareness of such risks among PB engineers<br />who are involved ...

<p>When an earthquake occurs, the surrounding soil and the structural elements can exhibit non-linear behaviour. In common practice, only non-linear behaviour of structural elements is evaluated. But, actually, the soil reaches the limit of its elastic behaviour ...

This paper focuses on the Quaternary faulting and earthquake geology along one of these displacement-transfer normal faults, the Deep Springs fault, to assess its kinematic role in the evolution of the eastern California shear zone.

In recent studies the efficacy of magnetorheological (MR) devices for seismic response modificationhas been demonstrated both experimentally and analytically. Prior experimental investigations focused on the use of a single MR damper to control a multi-story ...
