    • Earthquake Analysis of Subsea Structure on Caisson Foundation using 3D Finite Element Solution 

      Brandt, Madeleine (Master thesis, 2014)
      One of the challenging problems in geotechnical design of caisson foundations for offshore structures is the determination of soil-structure interaction during earthquakes. In this thesis, earthquake analyses were performed ...

    • Earthquake Response Analysis of Buildings 

      Niazi, Hijratullah (Master thesis, 2021)
      Denne masteroppgaven studerer jordskjelvanalyse ved å bruke forenklet metode i henhold til Eurokode 8. Tre forskjellige modeller blir studert, modell 1 hvor jordtrykk er langs en av de langsgående kjellerveggene og hvor ...

    • Earthquake Response Analysis of Pile Supported Structures - Correspondence of PLAXIS 2D with Eurocode 8 

      Toma, Mohsin Ara (Master thesis, 2017)
      Earthquake response of a structure on relatively soft soil is influenced by the soil material properties and type of foundation i.e. shallow or deep foundation. The design recommendations of Eurocode 8 provide a conservative ...

    • Earthquake Response of Different Types of Retaining Walls 

      Thapa Magar, Anuj (Master thesis, 2016)
      Retaining walls are designed to restrain against the lateral earth thrust while keeping its original position intact. During an earthquake, the lateral earth thrust increases and the walls become susceptible to failure ...

    • Earthquake response of retaining walls 

      Haugen, Eigil (Master thesis, 2011)
      This study investigates the background and the earthquake response of earth retaining walls by applying the pseudostatic Mononobe-Okabe method and the finite elements method. For the finite elements method the equivalent ...
