This edited book provides discussion and presents results related
to some "hot topics," all dealing with the soil-structure
interaction. The book can be of interest to both scientists
involved in academic studies of the problems addressed and for
practitioners engaged in high-level design. Chapter I reports the
investigation of non-stationary wave propagation in continuously
inhomogeneous cylindrical elements (such as pipelines). New results
obtained by numerical analysis of non-stationary wave propagation
are presented. The cases studied comprise simulations of the
propagations of both one-dimensional and two-dimensional
non-stationary waves. Waves of the first type are supposed to
propagate in continuously inhomogeneous, linearly viscoelastic
cylinders, whereas waves of the second type propagate in
continuously inhomogeneous elastic cylinders. The authors of this
chapter apply an original research method consisting of the
implementation of solutions to dynamic problems in the study of
elastic and linearly viscoelastic piecewise homogeneous bodies.
Chapter II outlines an analytical study of the propagation of
different types of waves (plane, cylindrical, spherical) as well as
of the waves' interaction with an element of Vibro-isolation
(specifically, a three-layer plate). The author also presents the
numerical results of the study of the distribution of the vibration
accelerations in soil. Chapter III presents details on the
analytical modeling of a bearing device for passive seismic
isolation (friction-pendulum system). The behavior of the slider is
identical to a motion of a particle constrained to slide on a
spherical surface. The analytical model includes equations of
motion, derived using the Lagrange formalism and constitutive
equations of the sliding interface. The author presents the results
of the numerical simulation of the response of the bearing device
to a seismic event, assuming a constant value of the friction
coefficient. Chapter IV proposes a discussion on the assessment of
the load-carrying capacity of a metal-resin anchor and the
determination of dependencies between parameters of supporting
systems that include anchors. The solution to the problems
addressed in this study involves an accurate analysis of the load
transfer mechanisms between different system components. The
proposed strategy requires the implementation of an algorithm aimed
at the reconstruction of the analytical form of a function,
provided its tabular form is available. The authors also formulate
a theorem that postulates the existence of such representation
applicable in a more general context. The research object in
Chapter V is the formulation of the boundary value problems for
circular and annular three-layer plates subjected to axisymmetric
loading. The considered plates consist of three layers: two thin
bearing layers and one filler layer, with a perfect bond, assumed
for all interfaces. The definition of the stress-strain state in
the plates presumes that the Kirchhoff's hypotheses regarding the
bearing layers and the Timoshenko's hypothesis (i.e., linear
distribution of the tangential displacements over the thickness)
concerning the filler layer hold. The performed analyses take into
account the characteristics of the elastic (Winkler) foundation.
The authors provide the obtained analytical solutions to the
formulated boundary value problems. Results obtained by numerical
analysis of the stress and the strain distributions for plates
supported by hinges on the contour are also presented.
