This paper reviews the factors that influence the behavior of foundations in seismic environments. It discusses aspects related with seismic load definition, dynamic soil properties, field and laboratory testing equipment, geoseismic instrumentation of prototypes, ...

<p>A procedure that can be used for preliminary seismic analysis of intake-outlet<br />towers including soil-structure-water interaction is developed. The formulation also considers the effect of partial soil-foundation separation, a phenomenon of considerable ...

Lateral interaction between pipelines and overconsolidated soil is modeled using the Advanced Geotechnical Analysis Code (AGAC) finite element program. The analysis is elasto-plastic, coupled stress-consolidation type. The rate of lateral pipeline movement ...
