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.

Journal Article
Eltaweel, A., Kuchai, N., Albadra, D., Coley, D., Hart, J., Acevedo-De-los-Ríos, A., & Rondinel-Oviedo, D. R. (2023). Narrative modelling: A comparison of high and low mass dwelling solutions in Afghanistan and Peru. Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 44(1), 5-24. https://doi.org/10.1177/01436244221125720

Displaced populations are housed in various constructions, including lightweight predesigned structures. Theoretically, self-built heavyweight structures should ensure better temperatures and be closer to cultural norms. To examine this directly for...

Nonlinear response of RC columns subjected to equal energy-double impact loads (2022)
Journal Article
Tantrapongsaton, W., Hansapinyo, C., Limkatanyu, S., Zhang, H., & Vimonsatit, V. (2022). Nonlinear response of RC columns subjected to equal energy-double impact loads. Buildings, 12(9), Article 1420. https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings12091420

Defining the damage and deflection from the impact by using only the impact energy could be misleading due to the effect of the impact momentum. In addition, reinforced concrete columns might be subjected to repeated impact loading. Hence, this study...
