Centrifuge and Real-Time Hybrid Testing of Tunneling beneath Piles and Piled Buildings (2018)
Journal Article
Andrea, F., & Alec M., M. (2019). Centrifuge and Real-Time Hybrid Testing of Tunneling beneath Piles and Piled Buildings. Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 145(3), Article 04018110. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29GT.1943-5606.0002003

Tunnels are constructed increasingly close to existing buried structures, including pile foundations. This poses a serious concern, especially for tunnels built beneath piles. Current understanding of the global tunnel-soil-pile-building interaction... Read More about Centrifuge and Real-Time Hybrid Testing of Tunneling beneath Piles and Piled Buildings.

A coupled thermal-mechanical numerical model of underground coal gasification (UCG) including spontaneous coal combustion and its effects (2018)
Journal Article
Ekneligoda, T., & Marshall, A. (2018). A coupled thermal-mechanical numerical model of underground coal gasification (UCG) including spontaneous coal combustion and its effects. International Journal of Coal Geology, 199, 31-38. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coal.2018.09.015

Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a promising option for extracting energy from coal in unworked or hard to access areas of the subsurface. From a geotechnical perspective, UCG involves various complex phenomena resulting from the elevated tempe...

Direct displacement-based seismic design of flexible-base structures subjected to pulse-like ground motions (2018)
Journal Article
Hajirasouliha, I., Marshall, A. M., & Lu, Y. (2018). Direct displacement-based seismic design of flexible-base structures subjected to pulse-like ground motions. Engineering Structures, 168, 276-289. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engstruct.2018.04.079

In this paper, a practical displacement-based framework is presented for seismic design of flexible-base structures in near-fault regions. Particular attention is given to pulse-like motions that may cause significant damage to building structures. T...

An improved replacement oscillator approach for soil-structure interaction analysis considering soft soils (2018)
Journal Article
Lu, Y., Hajirasouliha, I., & Marshall, A. M. (2018). An improved replacement oscillator approach for soil-structure interaction analysis considering soft soils. Engineering Structures, 167, 26-38. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engstruct.2018.04.005

This paper aims to improve the effectiveness of the replacement oscillator approach for soil-structure interaction (SSI) analysis of flexible-base structures on soft soil deposits. The replacement oscillator approach transforms a flexible-base single... Read More about An improved replacement oscillator approach for soil-structure interaction analysis considering soft soils.
