Dynamic Behaviour of a Geotechnical Seismic Isolation System with Rubber-Sand Mixtures to Enhance Seismic Protection (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bernal-Sanchez, J., McDougall, J., Miranda-Manzanares, M., & Barreto, D. (2022, September). Dynamic Behaviour of a Geotechnical Seismic Isolation System with Rubber-Sand Mixtures to Enhance Seismic Protection. Presented at 3rd European Conference on Earthquake Engineering & Seismology, Bucharest, Romania

A Geotechnical Seismic Isolation (GSI) system is proposed in this study based on the use of Rubber-Soil mixtures (RSm) to facilitate the benefits of dynamic soil-foundation structure interaction. The latter is possible due to the lower stiffness and... Read More about Dynamic Behaviour of a Geotechnical Seismic Isolation System with Rubber-Sand Mixtures to Enhance Seismic Protection.

The permeability variables of granular matter (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Imre, E., Illes, Z., Balint, A., Gonzales, H., Repassy, L., Quynh Huong, D. T., Lopez, L. L., Barreto, D., Guida, G., Datcheva, M., Baillie, W., & Singh, V. P. (2022, May). The permeability variables of granular matter. Presented at VIth International Symposium-2022 “Biosphere & Environmental Safety”, Obuda University, Hungary

No “unique” relation between soil parameters and grading curves of granular matter can be elaborated. In case some statistics are used (e.g., d10), then infinite many grading curves may be related to the same value of it. Moreover, several densities...
