Seismic-Resilient Structural Systems: Geotechnical Engineering
Abstract: Earthquakes represent one of the most destructive natural hazards, capable of causing severe structural damage, loss of life, and substantial economic disruption. Seismic waves propagating through the ground can induce excessive forces and deformations in buildings, often leading to partial or complete collapse. Statistical records indicate that thousands of earthquakes occur globally each year, including several major events that result in significant damage. Past earthquake disasters have repeatedly demonstrated that …

POLYMER AND COMPOSITE-BASED GEOSYNTHETIC REINFORCEMENTS FOR SEISMIC STABILITY OF SOIL RETAINING STRUCTURES: MATERIALS, MECHANICS, AND PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Abstract: Geosynthetic materials based on polymer and composites have become important items for the structural performance and seismic resilience of the reinforced soil retaining systems. Mechanically stabilized earth walls in recent geotechnical engineering practice are increasingly based on enhanced polymeric reinforcements for enhanced tensile strength, durability, flexibility, and energy dissipation under dynamic loading. High-density polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, and fiber-reinforced polymer composites are usually used. The present review focus on the recent …

Fourier Transform and Optical Analogy of the Sharply Pulsed E.P. Seismic Signals Propagating Through The Core of Earth
Abstract: AbstractLike light rays that encounter a water surface, seismic rays are governed by the laws of reflection and refraction. Eventually, there exist wave properties within these. Due to rigorous BIS (breakdown of integrated system) processes, severe consequences like earthquakes occur. The waves that are generated in an earthquake down into the interior of the earth are called earthquake waves or seismic waves. In the present paper, the author will consider …

Variation of Ground Acceleration with Increase in Lateral Distance
Abstract: Ground acceleration induced by dynamic loading decreases with increasing lateral distance from the source because of wave attenuation and energy dissipation through the ground. Accurate estimation of ground acceleration at different distances is essential for evaluating the safety and performance of nearby structures, particularly in blasting, seismic, and heavy construction activities. This study presents a simplified linear attenuation model for estimating ground acceleration at greater lateral distances using limited measured …
