Reduction of train-induced building vibrations by using open and filled trenches
Maher A. Adam,O. von Estorff +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical investigation on the effectiveness of open and in-filled trenches in reducing the building vibrations due to passing trains is presented. But unlike most of the previous formulations, this model completely considers the soil-structure interaction effects and directly determines the effect of the wave barrier on the structural response.

BEM–FEM coupling model for the dynamic analysis of piles and pile groups
TL;DR: In this article, a BEM-FEM coupling model for the time harmonic dynamic analysis of piles and pile groups embedded in an elastic half-space is presented, where piles are modelled using finite elements (FEM) as a beam according to the Bernoulli hypothesis, while the soil is modelled as a continuum, semi-infinite, isotropic, homogeneous or zoned homogeneous, linear, viscoelastic medium.
