Propagation of Thrust Due to Movement of Vehicle on Road
Abstract: The rapid growth of high-speed transportation systems has necessitated a detailed assessment of the structural effects induced by moving heavy vehicles. This study investigates the lateral thrust generated by high-speed vehicular movement and its implications for the design and safety evaluation of transportation infrastructure. A representative vehicle with dimensions of 18 m length, 5 m height, and 4 m width was considered for the analysis. The impact load generated by …

Analysis of the Impact of Seabed Earthquakes on Coastal Structures and Foundation Design
Abstract: Earthquakes in the seabed occur with varying magnitudes. Seabed earthquakes cause a rapid rise in water levels, which can lead to flooding and structural damage. Therefore, when designing buildings near the seashore, it is essential to account for the additional load on columns due to water thrust. Earthquakes occurring at the seabed generate intense ground acceleration of varying magnitudes, significantly affecting water levels and inducing destructive flooding along coastal regions. …
