Influence of pile inclination angle on the dynamic properties and seismic response of piled structures.

[EN] This paper aims to contribute to clarify whether the use of battered piles has a positive or negative influence on the dynamic response of deep foundations and superstructures. For this purpose, the dynamic response of slender and non-slender structures supported on several configurations of 2X2 and 3X3 pile groups including battered elements is obtained through a procedure based on a substructuring model whick takes soil-structure interaction into account.

Effects of soil-structure interaction on the dynamic properties and seismic response of piled structures.

[EN]This paper presents a simple and stable procedure for the estimation of periods and dampings of piled shear buildings taking soil-structure interaction into account. A substructuring methodology that incluedes the three-dimensional character of the foundations is used.

Influence of reservoir geometry and conditions on the seismic response of arch dams

[EN]An analysis of the influence that reservoir levels and bottom sediment properties (especially on the degree of saturation) have on the dynamic response of arch dams is caried out. For this purpose, a Boundary Element Model developed by the authors that allows the direct dynamic study of problems that incorporate scalar, viscoelastic and poroelastic media is used.
