The mechanism of grouting action under the base of bored pile
PublikacjaThe grouting under the base of bored pile is carried out in order to reduce pile settlement and improve its bearing capacity. The principal aim of grouting is to introduce an initial force between the soil and the pile base. In non-cohesive soil, the grouting can also enlarge the pile base area and therefore improve the base resistance. The example of static load tests on instrumented bored piles installed with and without grouting...

Nonlinear numerical simulation of earthquake-induced pounding between timber frame buildings
PublikacjaEarthquakes may induce serious dynamic loads acting on buildings, which can lead to damage or even destruction of the whole structure. In densely populated areas, it is quite common that buildings are located very close one to another which can result in pounding between them during ground motions. Due to the environmental awareness, multi-story timber frame buildings are gaining popularity and therefore there is a need to investigate...

A Strategy to Locate Fixed Points and Global Perturbations of ODE’s: Mixing Topology with Metric Conditions
PublikacjaIn this paper we discuss a topological treatment for the planar system z' = f (t, z) + g(t, z) where f and g are T -periodic in time and g(t, z) is bounded. Namely, we study the effect of g(t, z) in two different frameworks: isochronous centers and time periodic systems having subharmonics. The main tool employed in the proofs consists of a topological strategy to locate fixed points in the class of orientation preserving embedding...

Effect of Base-Connection Strength and Ductility on the Seismic Performance of Steel Moment-Resisting Frames
PublikacjaColumn-base connections in steel moment-resisting frames (SMFs) in seismic regions are commonly designed to develop the capacity of adjoining column with an intent to develop a plastic hinge in the column member, rather than in the connection (i.e., a strong-base design). Recent research has shown base connections to possess high ductility, indicating that this practice may be not only expensive but also unnecessary. This suggests...
