A special session on “Performance-based
Soil-Structure Interaction of
lifelines and infrastructure" is organised
during the International Conferenceon Natural Hazards and Infrastructure to be held in Chania, Greece, 28-30
June 2016. The Special Session
focuses on recent advances in
Performance-based Earthquake
Engineering with emphasis on
dynamically interacting soil-structure
systems, such as buildings, bridges,
geotechnical structures, wastewater,
sewage and energy pipelines, port
facilities as well as on related
infrastructure.
More specifically, it will encourage
contributions on the analysis, design
and assessment of coupled SSI
systems, probabilistic evaluation and mitigation of seismic risk, fragility
estimates at a component, structure
and network level, structural health
monitoring and innovative techniques
for identifying the dynamic
characteristics of flexibly supported
structures, new materials and
techniques for active, passive or
natural (in-soil) isolation and for
improving infrastructure resilience,
analytical, numerical and experimental
identification of dynamic SSI effects
as well as optimum earthquake ground
motion selection and generation for
research and design purposes.
It is envisaged that the Special Session
will constitute an interesting forum for
researchers and practitioners at the
boundaries between geotechnical and
structural engineering.
Organisers: Nicos Gerolymos & Anastasios Sextos
