This article discusses approaches to assessing the seismic impact on the
underground parts of buildings and structures and analyzes possible measures to
minimize them.
The development of promising methods of constructive seismic protection dictated
by the imperative need and requirements of improving the safety of buildings and
structures of enhanced security is given. Without knowledge of the real geodynamic
risks (the impact of earthquakes, fluctuations in the level of groundwater), investing of
funds in seismic safety will be ineffective.
The main objective of the research is to develop a set of measures for assessing the
seismic-geotechnical situation of the construction site due to the fact that at present:
taking into account difficult ground conditions is estimated very roughly, the
seismicity of the territory is determined by averaged indicators; geodynamic data
(score) is insufficient for modeling and calculating the underground part of the
building; there is no practice of a comprehensive study of the system (the soil
foundation - the underground part - the upper structure) before and after
construction.
On the basis of detailed initial data of seismic micro zoning it is possible to
perform clarification of seismic hazard and to provide effective measures of seismic
protection of high-rise buildings. The analysis of modern methods of structural
protection of buildings in earthquake-prone areas. The classification of existing
systems of classical seismic protection on the principle of their work is presented. The
main methods are analyzed and the general conclusions and principles of seismic
protection of individual structures and buildings are formulated as a whole.
The variants of design solutions for the construction of foundations with a
separation layer, design and methods of construction of vertical and horizontal
geotechnical barriers are considered. The main advantages and disadvantages of the
described methods are given.
The main tendency of development of seismic protection of buildings is defined
and the direction of further researches is chosen: collecting and the analysis
Time-History Analysis on Seismic Stability of Nuclear Island Bedrock with wea...ijceronline
This paper presents a three-dimensional numerical simulation method for the seismic response calculation of nuclear island foundation based on the nuclear power plant in Tai Shan. There are two weak interlayers in the bedrock. The numerical simulation aimed at the analysis and the evaluation of the stability of bedrock with the consideration of the interaction between the bedrock and nuclear island. Main features of nuclear numerical model are: (1) the mechanical interaction of nuclear island buildings, turbine room and bedrock have been taken into consideration, (2) the two weak interlayers may decrease the stability of the bedrock, which are the focused research in the models, (3) non-reflective free field boundary have been used in the boundary condition of model. The commercial numerical software FLAC3D has also been used in the simulation and analysis. A finite difference of numerical model for nuclear island bedrock was established and it have been used to analyze the bedrock’s mechanical phenomenon and safety performance. Dynamic characteristics, distributions of mechanical parameters and failure characteristics of bedrock have been studied under the action of seismic wave.
Application of Electrical Resistivity Tomography for Soil Competence Study in...IIJSRJournal
This study was carried out to determine soil competence around University of Benin Teaching Hospital and its environs using electrical resistivity tomography method. The Wenner Schlumberger Array Profiling method was used to give information of the subsurface resistivity. The result of the study showed that in ERT 1, highly competent soil were observed with resistivity values between 725Ωm and greater than 6546Ωm, which means that the area is underlain by clay sand at the top and sand/laterite/bedrock at the bottom. ERT 2 is characterized by highly competent soils with high resistivity values between 899Ωm to greater than 7851 Ωm, which indicates that the soil is underlain by sand/laterite/bedrocks. Furthermore, ERT 3 is group as highly competent soils, with resistivity values between762Ωm and greater than 6980 Ωm; this shows that the profile 3 is underlain by sand/laterite/bed rock. The study shows that though most part of the area contains soils that are competent, because of the presence of clay which on most occasion in the Niger Delta are expandable, detailed Geophysical and Civil engineering studies should be carried out before the erection of high rising engineering structures such as network masts, buildings and water tanks within the study area.
An application of the 2 d d.c. resistivity method in building site investigat...Alexander Decker
This study applied 2D DC resistivity methods to investigate the subsurface geology at a building site in south-south Nigeria. Two resistivity profiles identified four distinct geologic layers - a shallow clay layer, a layer of weathered rock materials, a layer of fractured basement rock, and fresh bedrock. The profiles revealed a potential geologic structure, likely a fracture, that could cause building failure if constructed across. The study concluded piles should extend to competent bedrock for major buildings, while shallow foundations can be used for small buildings, given the bedrock lies below weathered material. The integration of surface geophysics with borehole data would improve accuracy of the subsurface model.
This document provides an introduction and overview of a textbook on soil behavior in civil and environmental engineering. It discusses how soils influence engineering projects and their properties can be difficult to characterize due to unclear boundaries, variable material properties, and stress-dependent behavior. The objectives of the textbook are to provide an understanding of soil engineering properties, composition, structure, and behavior and how this relates to solving geotechnical problems. It aims to answer questions beyond traditional soil mechanics about topics like composition, geological history, effective stress, time-dependent behavior, environmental impacts, and flow through soils.
MODERNIZATION OF THE CLASSICAL SCHEME OF THE HANDICRAFT MANUFACTURE OF SOIL P...IAEME Publication
This document discusses the modernization of handicraft soil pressure sensors. Traditional sensors often failed due to contact breakdown, depressurization, or short circuits. The authors propose upgrades to minimize failure, including fiberglass boards, two-stage sealing with epoxy resin, stronger titanium bodies, and different adhesives and cables. Laboratory tests of upgraded sensors in soil samples showed no failures and measurement errors below 10%. However, attempts to create handicraft pore pressure sensors resulted in failures when soil entered through holes in the sensor body.
Geo Environmental Investigation of Abuad Dumpsite, Southwestern NigeriaIJERA Editor
Geoenvironmental study of ABUAD female dumpsite was conducted to investigate the suitability of its location
and potential impact on groundwater in the environment. Profiling and Vertical electrical sounding methods
were employed using Dipole - Dipole and Schlumberger configuration respectively. Five points were sounded
and one profile was occupied. Three heterogeneous subsurface lithologic units were established namely; lateritic
topsoil, clayey-sand, and, fresh basement. The curve types are simple H and HA. The topsoil and clayey-sand
materials are characterized with relatively low resistivity values while the fresh basement materials are
characterized with high resistivity values. The average resistivity and thickness values for the topsoil are
280.0Ωm and.2.3m respectively. Clayey-sand was encountered in all the locations with average resistivity and
thickness values of 32.0Ωm and 7.3m respectively. Basement is relatively shallow in the study area, it was
encountered in all the locations with an average resistivity and depth values to the top of basement of 674Ωm,
and 9.6m respectively. Overburden materials are relatively thin within the area with an average resistivity and
thickness values of 156Ωm, and 9.6m respectively. The overburden materials constituting the aquiferous units
within the study area are porous, vulnerable, and good paths for leachate migration. The relatively low
resistivity values within the clayey-sand layers (14 - 61Ωm) are suggestive of leachate intrusion, while relatively
high resistivity values of the impervious basement are due to their crystalline nature. The proximity of the
dumpsite to both the cafeteria and residential halls is a cause for concern.
In order to solve the water scarcity problem in South Malang, East Java,
Indonesia, we have attempted to investigate groundwater by assessing the subsurface
geology and groundwater potential zones. An attempt had been made to identify the
subsurface lithology and aquifer zones by VES (Vertical Electrical Sounding) method
in Pagak, Kepanjen, Kromengan and Gondanglegi district. The study area consists of
major subsurface litho units like sand, silt, clay, tuff, limestone and andesit. In order
to explore the groundwater resources of the study area with an aerial extent of 100
km2, electrical soundings have been conducted by adopting Schlumberger technique
in 12 locations with AB/2 200 m and 5 resistivity profiles were acquired. The field
data were interpreted and processed qualitatively and quantitatively by using
computer software. Considering the geological, geomorphology and hydrogeological
conditions the VES interpretation was done. The study has shown that the region is
underlain by 5 geoelectric layers within the depth penetrated. The groundwater
potential in South Malang reveals four distinct classes (zones) representing ‘Very
good’, ‘good’, ‘moderate’ and ‘poor’ groundwater potential in the area. From the
interpretation result the VES no. 7 (Pagak), and VES no. 9 (Kepanjen) are found to be
prospective for groundwater. It’s also identified that Groundwater occurs under
water table conditions the depth of water table ranges from 5 to 30 m.
This document provides a review of seismic isolation techniques for buildings. It summarizes the current practices of seismic isolation, describes common seismic isolation hardware including elastomeric bearings and sliding bearings, and chronicles the history of seismic isolation through shake table testing. The document also reviews past efforts to achieve three-dimensional seismic isolation and identifies areas where further research is needed, such as protecting nonstructural components from vertical ground motions and mitigating local uplift demands in isolation systems.

The influence of Vegetation and Built Environments on Midday Summer Thermal C...Zo Cayetano
The current study assesses the ability of vegetation to improve thermal comfort during desert summers. Microclimate data and fisheye photos were collected at nine sites throughout a single section of Arizona State University campus (Tempe, Arizona) from September 18 to September 29, 2015, when thermal discomfort is at its peak intensity. Among the sites, vegetation varied from desert grasses to nearly full overhead canopy. Other components of urban form, such as proximity to buildings, were controlled among sites but often varied as well. Using the air temperature, humidity and wind speed observations, the RayMan model calculated Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET). The model was evaluated and validated using Mean Radiant Temperature data derived from observations of globe temperature. A t-test confirmed that the PET levels of the sunexposed sites were significantly higher than those of shaded sites by 7.7°C regardless of the type of shade. Furthermore, the variation in vegetation did not influence humidity among the sites, and thus did not impact thermal comfort between the same. Sky View Factor was calculated as the percentage of visible sky in each site’s fisheye photo. Midday PET levels only loosely correlated with Sky View Factor, indicating a stronger dependency on momentary than diurnal shading.

A review on: The influence of soil conditions on the seismic forces in RC bui...IJERA Editor
This study focuses on a review of the influence of soil conditions on the seismic forces in RC buildings. The aim of this study is to gain understanding the effect of the local site conditions on the seismic forces in building. The study helps in creating awareness about the importance of the local site conditions, such as proximity to the source of earthquakes (faults) and the local geological and topographical features in the earthquake resistant design of buildings. The current Indian code of practice for seismic analysis IS 1893:2002, specifies seismic zones to consider different levels of intensity of ground shaking, There are also maps of the principal tectonic features and lithological formations. This paper shows the soil condition effects studied by the various researchers.
The document reviews the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation in urban design to analyze outdoor thermal comfort in hot and dry climates. CFD simulation can be used to understand factors like airflow, wind patterns, heat distribution and radiation that affect pedestrian thermal comfort. It allows designers to evaluate different design options and incorporate features to improve thermal comfort like shelters, vegetation and materials. While CFD provides accurate analysis of microclimate factors, its results require assumptions and simplifications that can limit effectiveness.
IRJET- A Review on Seismic Analysis of Multistory Building for Soft GroundIRJET Journal
This document discusses seismic analysis of multistory buildings built on soft ground using time history analysis. It reviews past seismic failures of open ground story buildings and the need to analyze the seismic response of such structures. The methodology involves modeling a sample 9-story reinforced concrete building with and without infill walls at the ground level using time history analysis in software. The analysis aims to observe the effects of different support conditions and infill wall modeling on the seismic response of the open ground story structure.
Geotechnical Investigation into the Causes of Cracks in Building: A Case Stu...inventionjournals
The document discusses a study investigating the causes of cracks in the Egbogha building at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria. Soil samples were collected from around the building and tested in the lab to determine their geotechnical properties. The tests found the soil to be poorly graded sandy clay with high clay content, indicating medium potential for shrinkage or swelling. Water infiltration during the rainy season causes differential heaving when drying out, resulting in the cracks seen in the building's walls. The study concludes that the expansive soil supporting the building's foundation is the likely cause of the cracks, rather than settlement. Recommendations include installing drainage, monitoring usage and repairs, and further investigating foundation soil settlement.

MSc Dissertation - Selection & Scaling of Natural Earthquake Records for Inel...Konstantinos Myrtsis
This dissertation examines how the selection and scaling of natural earthquake records influences the variability in estimated seismic demands on inelastic reinforced concrete structures during nonlinear time-history analysis. The author uses 148 recorded ground motions matched to the EC8 target spectrum to generate sample sets of 4, 7, and 11 records with best, average, and worst matches. Records are scaled based on spectral intensity and seismicity levels, requiring 396 analyses. Results are assessed in terms of mean and peak displacement ductility demands on a 3-story structure's critical floors under 2214 earthquake cases.
This document discusses a study on the effects of soil-structure interaction (SSI) on the seismic response of framed structures. Three-story, seven-story, and fifteen-story reinforced concrete frames are modeled in STAAD-PRO software placed on three types of soils: hard, medium, and soft. The structures are analyzed both with and without considering SSI to understand how SSI affects structural properties like natural time period, base shear, and seismic response. The analysis shows that considering SSI leads to increased time periods, displacements, accelerations, and base shear compared to fixed-base analysis that does not account for soil flexibility. SSI has a more significant impact for taller buildings and those on soft soils.
EFFECT OF SEISMIC LOAD ON REINFORCED CONCRETE MULTISTORY BUILDING FROM ECONOM...IAEME Publication
This paper aims at studying the effect of earthquake loading on the constructional
design of a 20-storey reinforced concrete residential building from economical point
of view. This type of loading should be taken into considerations now in Iraq
especially after the earthquake of 7.3 magnitude that occurred in November 2017 near
the city of Halabja by about 31 kilometers. The same reinforced concrete multistory
building was designed twice; once with traditional gravity dead and live loading and
the second with adding earthquake loading in order to discuss the difference from
structural and economical points of view. A commercial package ETABS2018 was
used to analyze this 60-meter-high building. The building was analyzed according to
the American code ASCE7-10, while it was designed according to ACI 318-14. A huge
increase in the steel reinforcement amounts in columns, beams, slabs and shear walls
were recorded due to taking the seismic load into considerations. More specifically,
the reinforcing steel amounts increased by about 327%, 165%, 40% and 91.3% for
columns, beams, slabs and shear walls, respectively. Therefore, cost was raised by
about 328%, 165%, 40% and 91.3% for columns, beams, slabs and shear walls,
respectively. It is worth to mention here that the maximum increase in main
reinforcement of beams was observed on the storey 10. Whereas, in slabs, the
maximum increase that was recorded in main steel reinforcement was happened from
the storey 8 to the building top. In columns, the main reinforcement increase was seen
on the 9th, 10th and 11th storeys. Finally, in shear walls, the main reinforcement
increase was seen in the 1
st
, 2
nd
and 3
rd
storey due to effect lateral shear forces
The base isolation system is well-known as a sophisticated device for reducing
earthquake energy that a building structure is subjected to under earthquake impact.
Currently, many researchers are attempting to develop low-cost base isolation
intended for low-rise buildings by replacing steel reinforcement with an alternative
material. In this research project, the seismic response of residential housing units
that used perforated-reinforced elastomeric isolators (PREIs) within one- and twostory
reinforced concrete (RC), are investigated. The nonlinear dynamic analysis
(time history) considered seven ground motions to assess the seismic performance of
the structure under extreme earthquake shaking. The nonlinear dynamic analysis
method was developed to provide a more realistic model of structural response to
strong ground shaking. The lateral displacement, inter-story drift, base shear,
acceleration and overturning moment were analyzed to ensure that the low-rise
building behaved elastically under strong ground motion without any damage on both
nonstructural and structural components. The results illustrated that the application
of the isolators in the low-rise building was reliable in providing low horizontal
stiffness and a longer fundamental period. In addition, the study illustrated the
advantage of applying isolators in the upper structure, reducing base shear,
acceleration and drift ratio drastically. The large lateral displacement of the isolator
played an important role in the stability of the isolated structure. Therefore, special
attention must be paid in the design process of the isolator to guarantee suitable
response of the upper structure under strong earthquake shaking.
This document describes a study assessing the seismic vulnerability of a historical masonry building in Italy called Palazzo Bosco Lucarelli. The assessment involved a multidisciplinary approach including: (1) a historical investigation of the building and area, (2) detailed surveys, (3) material identification, (4) dynamic in-situ tests, (5) foundation soil characterization, and (6) dynamic identification using a finite element model. The results were used to evaluate the safety of the building through non-linear static analyses according to code provisions and estimate the behavior modification factor. Parametric studies were also conducted using linear dynamic and non-linear static analyses.
Effect of Soil Structure Interaction on Seismic Response of Multistorey BuildingIRJET Journal
This document discusses the effect of soil-structure interaction on the seismic response of a 10-storey building with piled raft foundation. A finite element model of the building-foundation system was created in ANSYS and subjected to static cyclic and dynamic response spectrum analysis considering 3 different soil types - stiff clay, silty sand, and hard rock. The results were compared to a fixed base model without soil. Both the total deformation and equivalent stresses were found to be greater for flexible base models compared to fixed base, and highest for the silty sand soil, indicating soil properties significantly influence the seismic response of structures. Considering soil-structure interaction is important for accurate seismic analysis of multi-storey buildings.
IRJET- Seismic Effects on Irregular Buildings- State of the ArtIRJET Journal
This document summarizes research on the seismic effects on irregular buildings. It begins by defining irregular buildings as those with irregular distributions of mass, stiffness, or strength along the height. Previous earthquakes have shown damage is greater in irregular buildings. The document then discusses several recent studies that have evaluated the seismic response of irregular buildings through modeling and analysis, finding increased stresses, drift, and torsion effects compared to regular buildings. It concludes that accurately evaluating the seismic behavior of irregular buildings remains challenging.

Microclimate data and fisheye photos were collected at nine sites throughout a single section of Arizona State University campus (Tempe, Arizona) from September 18 to September 29, 2015, when thermal discomfort is at its peak intensity. Among the sites, vegetation varied from desert grasses to nearly full overhead canopy. Other components of urban form, such as proximity to buildings, were controlled among sites but often varied as well. Using the air temperature, humidity and wind speed observations, the RayMan model calculated Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET). The model was evaluated and validated using Mean Radiant Temperature data derived from observations of globe temperature. A t-test confirmed that the PET levels of the sunexposed sites were significantly higher than those of shaded sites by 7.7°C regardless of the type of shade. Furthermore, the variation in vegetation did not influence humidity among the sites, and thus did not impact thermal comfort between the same. Sky View Factor was calculated as the percentage of visible sky in each site’s fisheye photo. Midday PET levels only loosely correlated with Sky View Factor, indicating a stronger dependency on momentary than diurnal shading.

A review on: The influence of soil conditions on the seismic forces in RC bui...IJERA Editor
This study focuses on a review of the influence of soil conditions on the seismic forces in RC buildings. The aim of this study is to gain understanding the effect of the local site conditions on the seismic forces in building. The study helps in creating awareness about the importance of the local site conditions, such as proximity to the source of earthquakes (faults) and the local geological and topographical features in the earthquake resistant design of buildings. The current Indian code of practice for seismic analysis IS 1893:2002, specifies seismic zones to consider different levels of intensity of ground shaking, There are also maps of the principal tectonic features and lithological formations. This paper shows the soil condition effects studied by the various researchers.
The document reviews the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation in urban design to analyze outdoor thermal comfort in hot and dry climates. CFD simulation can be used to understand factors like airflow, wind patterns, heat distribution and radiation that affect pedestrian thermal comfort. It allows designers to evaluate different design options and incorporate features to improve thermal comfort like shelters, vegetation and materials. While CFD provides accurate analysis of microclimate factors, its results require assumptions and simplifications that can limit effectiveness.

Geotechnical Investigation into the Causes of Cracks in Building: A Case Stu...inventionjournals
The document discusses a study investigating the causes of cracks in the Egbogha building at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria. Soil samples were collected from around the building and tested in the lab to determine their geotechnical properties. The tests found the soil to be poorly graded sandy clay with high clay content, indicating medium potential for shrinkage or swelling. Water infiltration during the rainy season causes differential heaving when drying out, resulting in the cracks seen in the building's walls. The study concludes that the expansive soil supporting the building's foundation is the likely cause of the cracks, rather than settlement. Recommendations include installing drainage, monitoring usage and repairs, and further investigating foundation soil settlement.

MSc Dissertation - Selection & Scaling of Natural Earthquake Records for Inel...Konstantinos Myrtsis
This dissertation examines how the selection and scaling of natural earthquake records influences the variability in estimated seismic demands on inelastic reinforced concrete structures during nonlinear time-history analysis. The author uses 148 recorded ground motions matched to the EC8 target spectrum to generate sample sets of 4, 7, and 11 records with best, average, and worst matches. Records are scaled based on spectral intensity and seismicity levels, requiring 396 analyses. Results are assessed in terms of mean and peak displacement ductility demands on a 3-story structure's critical floors under 2214 earthquake cases.
This document discusses a study on the effects of soil-structure interaction (SSI) on the seismic response of framed structures. Three-story, seven-story, and fifteen-story reinforced concrete frames are modeled in STAAD-PRO software placed on three types of soils: hard, medium, and soft. The structures are analyzed both with and without considering SSI to understand how SSI affects structural properties like natural time period, base shear, and seismic response. The analysis shows that considering SSI leads to increased time periods, displacements, accelerations, and base shear compared to fixed-base analysis that does not account for soil flexibility. SSI has a more significant impact for taller buildings and those on soft soils.
EFFECT OF SEISMIC LOAD ON REINFORCED CONCRETE MULTISTORY BUILDING FROM ECONOM...IAEME Publication
This paper aims at studying the effect of earthquake loading on the constructional
design of a 20-storey reinforced concrete residential building from economical point
of view. This type of loading should be taken into considerations now in Iraq
especially after the earthquake of 7.3 magnitude that occurred in November 2017 near
the city of Halabja by about 31 kilometers. The same reinforced concrete multistory
building was designed twice; once with traditional gravity dead and live loading and
the second with adding earthquake loading in order to discuss the difference from
structural and economical points of view. A commercial package ETABS2018 was
used to analyze this 60-meter-high building. The building was analyzed according to
the American code ASCE7-10, while it was designed according to ACI 318-14. A huge
increase in the steel reinforcement amounts in columns, beams, slabs and shear walls
were recorded due to taking the seismic load into considerations. More specifically,
the reinforcing steel amounts increased by about 327%, 165%, 40% and 91.3% for
columns, beams, slabs and shear walls, respectively. Therefore, cost was raised by
about 328%, 165%, 40% and 91.3% for columns, beams, slabs and shear walls,
respectively. It is worth to mention here that the maximum increase in main
reinforcement of beams was observed on the storey 10. Whereas, in slabs, the
maximum increase that was recorded in main steel reinforcement was happened from
the storey 8 to the building top. In columns, the main reinforcement increase was seen
on the 9th, 10th and 11th storeys. Finally, in shear walls, the main reinforcement
increase was seen in the 1
st
, 2
nd
and 3
rd
storey due to effect lateral shear forces
The base isolation system is well-known as a sophisticated device for reducing
earthquake energy that a building structure is subjected to under earthquake impact.
Currently, many researchers are attempting to develop low-cost base isolation
intended for low-rise buildings by replacing steel reinforcement with an alternative
material. In this research project, the seismic response of residential housing units
that used perforated-reinforced elastomeric isolators (PREIs) within one- and twostory
reinforced concrete (RC), are investigated. The nonlinear dynamic analysis
(time history) considered seven ground motions to assess the seismic performance of
the structure under extreme earthquake shaking. The nonlinear dynamic analysis
method was developed to provide a more realistic model of structural response to
strong ground shaking. The lateral displacement, inter-story drift, base shear,
acceleration and overturning moment were analyzed to ensure that the low-rise
building behaved elastically under strong ground motion without any damage on both
nonstructural and structural components. The results illustrated that the application
of the isolators in the low-rise building was reliable in providing low horizontal
stiffness and a longer fundamental period. In addition, the study illustrated the
advantage of applying isolators in the upper structure, reducing base shear,
acceleration and drift ratio drastically. The large lateral displacement of the isolator
played an important role in the stability of the isolated structure. Therefore, special
attention must be paid in the design process of the isolator to guarantee suitable
response of the upper structure under strong earthquake shaking.
This document describes a study assessing the seismic vulnerability of a historical masonry building in Italy called Palazzo Bosco Lucarelli. The assessment involved a multidisciplinary approach including: (1) a historical investigation of the building and area, (2) detailed surveys, (3) material identification, (4) dynamic in-situ tests, (5) foundation soil characterization, and (6) dynamic identification using a finite element model. The results were used to evaluate the safety of the building through non-linear static analyses according to code provisions and estimate the behavior modification factor. Parametric studies were also conducted using linear dynamic and non-linear static analyses.
Effect of Soil Structure Interaction on Seismic Response of Multistorey BuildingIRJET Journal
This document discusses the effect of soil-structure interaction on the seismic response of a 10-storey building with piled raft foundation. A finite element model of the building-foundation system was created in ANSYS and subjected to static cyclic and dynamic response spectrum analysis considering 3 different soil types - stiff clay, silty sand, and hard rock. The results were compared to a fixed base model without soil. Both the total deformation and equivalent stresses were found to be greater for flexible base models compared to fixed base, and highest for the silty sand soil, indicating soil properties significantly influence the seismic response of structures. Considering soil-structure interaction is important for accurate seismic analysis of multi-storey buildings.

The paper reveals the issue of improving the quality of rock mass crushing in
quarries of building materials. The analysis of methods for improving the quality of
crushing has been performed. A method to increase the time of impact of explosion
products on a mountain massif by changing charge design has been proposed. The
method was tested and the results of explosions at the quarry of Leningrad region were
presented. The experimental data show: theoretical calculations are consistent with
experimental data and have a slight deviation; the parameters of the rock mass
disruption allow using wheel loaders in the quarry. Yet, the use of new charge designs
enabled improving the quality of crushing, namely, increasing percentage of output of
an average piece of conditioned fraction, therefore, optimizing operation of the mining
entity as a whole.

Geotechnical Engineering: A Student's Perspective
By Dr. Costas Sachpazis.
Geotechnical engineering is a branch of civil engineering that focuses on the behavior of earth materials such as soil and rock. It is a crucial aspect of any construction project, as the properties of the ground can have a significant impact on the design and stability of structures. Geotechnical engineers work to understand the physical and mechanical properties of soil and rock, as well as how these materials interact with man-made structures.
Geotechnical engineering plays a crucial role in the field of civil engineering, as it deals with the behavior of earth materials and how they interact with structures. Understanding the properties of soil and rock beneath the surface is essential for designing safe and stable structures that can withstand various loads and environmental conditions. Without proper knowledge of geotechnical engineering, civil engineers would not be able to ensure the safety and longevity of their projects.

Dynamic Analysis of Multi-Storeyed Frame-Shear Wall Building Considering SSIIJERA Editor
The structural system of a high-rise building often has a more pronounced effect than a low rise building on the
total building cost and the architecture aspect of building. Shear walls are lateral load resisting structural
systems which provide stability to structures from lateral loads like wind and seismic Loads. The design of multi
storey building is to have good lateral load resisting System along with gravity load system for safety of
occupant and for better performance of structure even in most adverse condition. The main scope of this project
is to apply class room knowledge in the real world by designing a multi-storied residential building. Shear walls
are more efficient in resisting lateral loads in multi storied buildings. Steel and reinforced concrete shear walls
are kept in major positions of multi storied buildings which are made in consideration of seismic forces and
wind forces. To solve this purpose shear walls are a very powerful structural elements, if used judiciously can
reduce deflections and stresses to a very great extent. Our project contains a brief description of building with
shear wall and without shear wall thoroughly discussed structural analysis of a building to explain the
application of shear wall. The design analysis of the multi storied building in our project is done through
STAAD-PRO, most popular structural engineering software. It is featured with some ultimate power tool,
analysis and design facilities which make it more users friendly.
VARIATION OF SEISMIC RESPONSE OF MID-RISE RC BUILDINGS DUE TO SOIL STRUCTURE ...IAEME Publication
The seismic design of RC buildings requires determining the expected base shear, lateral drift at each story level and internal forces of the structural elements. In the analysis, it is common for the structural engineers to consider a fixed base structure which means that the foundations and the underlying soil are assumed to be infinitely rigid. This assumption is not proper since the underlying soil in the near field often consists of soft soil layers that possess different properties and may behave nonlinearly leading to drastic variation of the seismic motion before hitting the structure foundation. In addition, the mutual interaction between the structure, its foundation and the underlying soil during the vibrations can substantially alter the structure response. This response variation depends on the structure characteristics, the soil properties and the nature of the seismic excitation. Consequently, an accurate assessment of inertial forces and displacements in structures requires a rational treatment of soil structure interaction (SSI) effects.

“ Study of Sesmic Analysis of Masonry Wall Structure”IJERA Editor
Earthquakes are natural trouble under which disasters are mainly caused by damage or collapse of the structure and other man-made structures. When an earthquake occurs natural period of vibration is more on heavy loaded building and less in light loaded building. If the building is light weighted, i.e. steel is less then economy of structure is also achieved. Hence it is necessary to find out natural/fundamental time period when mass changes with different type of brick masonry and concrete masonry.This is necessary because IS 1893:2002 does not incorporate the effect of mass in a formula which they have mentioned for brick masonary structure. Thedesign will also analyze with ETAB software.

Both models are analyzed using the response spectrum method and their story displacements, drifts, accelerations, and shears are compared. The objectives are to see how base isolation can reduce seismic demands on the structure by increasing its period and flexibility. The methodology, structural models, material properties, seismic parameters, and response spectrum used are described. Results showing that base isolation increases story displacements but reduces other seismic demands are presented and discussed.
Comparative Study of Various Seismic Analysis Methods for Rc StructureIJERA Editor
A large number of RC frame buildings have been built in India in recent years. Huge number of similarly designed and constructed buildings exist in the various towns and cities situated in moderate to severe seismic zones of the country. Analysis and design of such buildings for static forces is a routine affair these days because of availability of affordable computers and specialized programs which can be used for the analysis. On the other hand, dynamic analysis is a time consuming process and requires additional input related to mass of the structure, and an understanding of structural dynamics for interpretation of analytical results. Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame buildings are most common type of constructions in urban India, which are subjected to several types of forces during their lifetime, such as static forces due to dead and live loads and dynamic forces due to earthquake. To ensure safety against seismic forces of multi-storied building hence, there is need to study of seismic analysis to design earthquake resistance structures. In the present study a multi-storied framed structure is selected, And Linear seismic analysis is done for the building by static method (Equivalent Static Method) and dynamic method (Response Spectrum Method & Time history Method) using ETAB2016 as per the IS-1893-2002-Part-1. As a result, the response of structure has been obtained for considered building models, based on each methods of analysis, and then the results are compared with each other.

Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

It is employee performance that determines the success of every organization. The firm quickly obtains an upper hand over its rivals in the event that its employees having particular skills that cannot be duplicated by the competitors. Thus, firms are centred on creating successful talent management practices and processes to deal with the unique human resources. Firms are additionally endeavouring to keep their top/key staff since on the off chance that they leave; the whole store of information leaves the firm's hands. The study's objective was to determine the impact of talent management on organizational performance among the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The study recommends that talent management limitedly affects performance. On the off chance that this talent is appropriately management and implemented properly, organizations might benefit as much as possible from their maintained assets to support development and productivity, both monetarily and non-monetarily.
A STUDY OF VARIOUS TYPES OF LOANS OF SELECTED PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS...IAEME Publication
Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA. There are many research conducted on the topic of Non- Performing Assets (NPA) Management, concerning particular bank, comparative study of public and private banks etc. In this paper the researcher is considering the aggregate data of selected public sector and private sector banks and attempts to compare the NPA of Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of public and private sector banks. The tools used in the study are average and Anova test and variance. The findings reveal that NPA is common problem for both public and private sector banks and is associated with all types of loans either that is housing loans, agriculture loans and loans to SMES. NPAs of both public and private sector banks show the increasing trend. In 2010-11 GNPA of public and private sector were at same level it was 2% but after 2010-11 it increased in many fold and at present there is GNPA in some more than 15%. It shows the dark area of Indian banking sector.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
OPTIMAL RECONFIGURATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION RADIAL NETWORK USING HYBRID MET...IAEME Publication
Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

1. INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, the increasing importance in the design of buildings and structures, in the
reconstruction of existing facilities have become problems associated with the dynamic
effects on the soil masses. One of the main dynamic loads is the load from the seism-
seismic exposure.
Federal Law 384-FL “Technical Regulations for the Safety of Buildings and Structures”
requires all participants in the construction process to carry out a complex of geological and
physical research that guarantees the safety of an object at all stages of its life cycle.
With lack of knowledge of the real geodynamic risks (the impact of earthquakes,
fluctuations in the level of groundwater), the investment of funds in seismic safety will be
ineffective.
On the basis of the detailed initial seismic zoning data, seismic hazard clarification can be
performed and effective seismic protection measures of high-rise buildings can be provided.
The development of promising techniques for constructive seismic protection is dictated
by the imperative need and requirements for improving the safety of buildings and structures
with increased security [1, 2].
The main task of further research is the development of a set of measures on assessing the
seismic-geotechnical situation of the construction site. Due to the fact that at present: difficult
ground conditions is estimated very roughly, the seismicity of a territory is determined by
averaged indicators, geodynamic data (score) is insufficient for modeling and calculating the
underground part of the building; there is no practice of a comprehensive study of the system
(the soil foundation - the underground part - the upper structure) before and after construction.
Solving this problem requires consideration of the possibilities of micro seismic isolation.
The principles for assessing the seismicity of the construction site, taking into account the
engineering-geological conditions and the nature of its loading, are outlined in the works of
A.S. Aleshina [3–5], N.P. Abovskiy [6].
After the seismic micro zonation of the construction area, the background seismicity for
the design of construction sites can be changed to points, depending on the local soil and
hydrogeological conditions.
So, if the seismicity of the area is 7, 8, 9 points, then for rocky soils of all types (the first
soil category), the seismicity of the site decreases and it is respectively 6, 7, 8 points. For
coarse-grained soils (the second category), the seismicity of the construction site does not
change and has the same values - 7, 8, 9 points. For loose gravel sands, wet and water-
3. Constructive Methods of Protecting Buildings from Seismic Exposure
http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 3 editor@iaeme.com
saturated, the calculated seismicity of the construction site increases and is already 8, 9 or
more points (Pic. 1).
Thus, as follows from these data, a hard rock base reduces the risk of seismic exposure,
and weakens water-saturated soils increase it. The waterfall of the underlying rocks
(groundwater level), the consistency of the ground layers, and the variability of the site’s
topography have the greatest impact on the refinement of the background seismicity of the
construction site.
In the case of seismic micro zonation of the construction site, the normal amplitude
characteristics of the ground oscillations are additionally corrected for local geotechnical
conditions. A correction factor is introduced to modify the calculated values of the
displacement amplitudes, velocities and accelerations of the soil strata, which determine the
seismic effect on the structure.
Figure 1 Diagram of a cross-section of a territory with a seismicity of 8 points with the allocation of
individual zones (microseismization): 1 - the area of rock formation, seismicity is reduced by 1 point;
2 - landslides are possible on the slopes, seismicity is increased by 1 point; 3 - with a high position of
the groundwater level (GWL) seismicity increases by 1 point.
Microseism ionization of the construction site allows:
- to note the special role of shear wave velocities and seismic rigidity as the most informative
characteristics of the seismic properties of soils;
- to abandon the mandatory use of the amendment to the groundwater level using transverse-
wave seismic;
- use design soil models that take into account both the elastic and elastic-plastic properties of
the soil with significant dynamic effects.
A great contribution to the development of the theory of seismic resistance was made by:
Ya.M. Eisenberg, A.M. Belostotsky, K.S. Zavriev, G.N. Kartsivadze, I.L. Korchinsky, V.L.
Mondrus, A.G. Nazarov, N.A. Nikolaenko, A.E. Sargsyan, E.I. Khachiyan, G.E. Shablinsky
et al. [7, 8].
To solve the problem of ensuring the integrity of structures or minimizing damage from
seismic loads by increasing the cross sections of structural elements of buildings is
completely impossible. The construction will become more durable, but not necessarily cost-
effective, because the weight and inertial seismic load may increase even more. Therefore,
there is a need to develop new effective structures and methods of seismic protection.
When building in difficult ground conditions, taking into account increased seismicity, it
is rational to use other constructive solutions instead of adapting traditional structures:
rational spatial formation of a single system “foundation - building”; development of
structures that are insensitive to negative seismic exposure; the use of geotechnical barriers
that minimize the transfer of seismic energy to the underground part of the building.

V.A. Il'ichev [9–11] studied the theory of oscillations and the propagation of waves in the
ground, developed the first regulatory documents governing the design and construction of
structures exposed to dynamic (seismic) effects.
A.M. Uzdin [12] proposed a general classification of existing seismic protection systems,
which can be represented in the form of a modified scheme (Pic. 2).
According to this classification, seismic protection of buildings and structures can be
divided into two groups: traditional which allows increasing the strength and rigidity of
sections of structural elements, and special, which allows to reduce the seismic load due to
targeted changes in the dynamic scheme of the structure.
Figure 2 Classification of seismic protection systems based on their operation
Special seismic protection is divided into active, involving the use of an additional source
of energy and requiring significant costs for its construction and operation, and passive, which
includes two systems: seismic suppression and seismic isolation. The seismic suppression
system involves the use of dampers and dynamic absorbers, due to which the mechanical
energy that occurs when the structure oscillates, transfers to other forms of energy and leads
to damping of oscillations or the energy is redistributed from the protected structure to the
damper.
With seismic isolation, it is possible to reduce the mechanical energy propagating from
the base to the structure by detuning the structure's oscillation frequencies from the prevailing
impact frequencies. It is customary to divide for stationary and adaptive seismic isolation
systems.
In the first case, the dynamic characteristics are constant during the earthquake process. In
the second case, the dynamic characteristics of the structure are not constant and change
significantly during the earthquake.
Among stationary seismic isolation systems, seismic insulating foundations are the most
widespread, which, in turn, are divided into two groups depending on the manifestation or
absence of a restoring force during the mutual displacement of seismically insulated parts of
the structure: elastic and kinematic supports of the gravitational type - a design with an

emerging return force between the seismically insulated parts structures; a sliding belt is an
example of the use of seismic isolation that does not provide a restoring force.
2. STRUCTURAL SOLUTIONS
We will consider the most interesting structural solutions for foundations using stationary
seismic isolation, given in the following patent materials:

construction in special soil conditions and seismicity in precast and monolithic variants
(Abovskiy NP et al., 2006). The platform consists of an upper and lower slab installed on the

system (Shpeter AK, Semenyuk P.N., Ovsyannikov S.N., 2016). Monolithic reinforced

Patent for invention RU 2 512 054 C1. Integrated system of seismic protection of a building or
structure (Abovskiy NP et al., 2012). A complex system of seismic protection of a building or

includes a separating layer, most often elastic. Such a layer is used: moisture-proof material;
granular material; sand pad reinforced with two layers of geosynthetic mesh; bulk material;
crushed stone with concrete preparation.
The bulk layer is a damper in which part of the seismic energy is dissipated (dissipation
phenomenon). In the damper, due to the development of dry and viscous friction, damping of
the amplitude of oscillations occurs, which leads to a decrease in the strength of oscillations
by an amount from 0.5 to 2.5 points.

The effect of the use of an intermediate foundation pad is determined by its design
parameters (the thickness of the pad and the size of the material used) and is expressed in the
optimization of the operating range of “seismic damping”.
The upper level of damping properties of the scattering layer is set not lower than the
upper level of fluctuations of the predicted seismic hazard. Compliance with it is determined
based on the seismograms, according to the difference between the values of the upper and
lower oscillations in the "base – foundation pad - foundation" system, when a seismic wave
passes through a foundation pad of the discrete material. This allows limiting the seismic
exposure on the structure as much as possible, keeping it at the required level for a particular
type of seismic pad [13].
The optimal design variant of the foundation with a dispersing layer for the corresponding
seismic hazard in the area of foundation construction requires the selection of the working
range of “damping seismic vibrations” in accordance with their design parameters of the
foundation pad (its capacity, size of the fragmentary material).
Mathematical modeling of the base – seismic isolation – foundation system, including the
heterogeneity of the soil base and the intermediate foundation pad, the variety of foundation
types, their inertial and dynamic properties, is a rather difficult task [14].
3. VERTICAL GEOTECHNICAL BARRIERS (SCREENS)
The protection of a building against earthquakes can be realized without constructive
interference with its bearing skeleton by constructing a vertical protective geotechnical barrier
(screen) [15, 16].
Constructive solutions for vertical absorbing screens were reflected in the following patent
developments:
USSR author's certificate SU No. 343000. A device for damping seismic waves (Vovk A.A.,
Cherny G.I., 1972) is a chain of wells filled with porous material and intended to protect
against bulk and surface waves. The wells are arranged in two rows in a staggered manner.
USSR author's certificate SU No. 817150. Screen to protect the foundations of buildings and
structures from the effects of vibrations (Lapteva NN, Chernyshev Yu.G., 1979). The screen is
a trench made around the base of the foundation, filled with material that absorbs vibrations.
The disadvantage of this screen is the low effectiveness of protection due to the violation of
the integrity of the soil system - the foundation for the exhaustion of the damping properties of
the backfill.
Copyright certificate SU№1744203 A1. Device to protect the object from seismic effects
(Balbachan I.P., 1989). The screen is placed in the ground around the protected object. The
acoustic rigidity of the screen is less than the rigidity of the soil. Forming the screen creates in
the vertical plane a triangular contour.

exposure (LK Malyshev, Ya.I. Natarius, 1990). It is a continuous or discontinuous hole gap in
the plan, filled with an acoustically more rigid material (concrete) than the ground.

Copyright certificate SU № 1776720 A2. Device to protect the object from seismic exposure
(Z. I. Berodze et al., 1992). The design includes an additional screen, completely adjacent to
the inner surface of the main screen. An additional screen is made of an elastoplastic material,
the density and modulus of deformation of which is less than the density and modulus of
deformation of the soil.
Copyright certificate SU 1448090 A1. A screen to protect structures from the effects of
ground vibrations (Illichev, VA et al., 1992). The screen includes a rigid monolithic reinforced
concrete wall with protrusions placed in a trench between the source of oscillations and the
object to be protected. The height of the protrusions is equal to the half-length of the wave,
and their periodicity does not exceed the wavelength of the vibrations which have influence on
the screen.
RF patent 2006553. Screen to protect buildings from seismic effects (Pronin E.S., Rusinov
A.V., 1994). The screen is located around the structure, in the form of a shell immersed in the
ground, made of connected reinforced concrete sections. The mass of the soil enclosed within
the shell corresponds to the mass of the structure, and the shape of shell is a star. The
disadvantage of this screen is the destruction of the structure of the soil adjacent to the inside
of the star, which reduces the efficiency, as well as the separation of the soil mass.
Patent for invention RU 2 298 614 C1. The way to protect buildings and structures from
vibration (Aleshin, AS and others, 2006). The implementation of the main vertical screen
between the active zone of vibration and the building or structure is performed by drilling one
or several rows of wells, to a depth of at least half the surface wavelength. The device is an
additional screen under the base of the building or structure in the form of wells, drilled along
a uniform grid to a depth not exceeding the depth of the vertical screen. The wells of the
vertical and additional screens are pressed by the sealing solution.
A common feature in all constructive solutions is a device in soils of continuous or
intermittent rows of wells along the perimeter of the object, filled with a porous or solid
structure that absorbs vibrations. The disadvantage of the vertical screen is that the protective
circuit is placed around the building structure. The damping effect of seismic waves on the
soil foundation, located directly under the building itself, is minimal.
Common disadvantages of the proposed systems are: high consumption of materials,
manufacturing complexity and, as a result, the high cost of seismic isolation screens in the
form of wave barriers; the lack of a theory of calculation that would allow satisfactory
determination of the composition and parameters of the wave barrier and its influence on the
nature.
4. HORIZONTAL GEOTECHNICAL BARRIERS (WAVE SCREENS)
Wave barriers can be installed not only vertically, but also horizontally. Changing the
orientation of the air screen installation will not affect the ability of the air screen to reflect
and refract seismic waves. However, the horizontal production of screens is much easier and
cheaper.
The horizontal barrier is a surface layer with modified properties.
Modification of properties can be achieved by various methods. The most effective
method is the creation of a layer with specified properties [17, 18].
Constructive and technological methods of the device of such grounds are given in the
following patent materials:

the transverse seismic wave propagating in the ground, and the total cross-sectional area of the
piles is 8% or more from the total base area.
Copyright certificate SU 1761876 A1. The seismic base of the building, structure (Ilyichev
VA, et al., 1992). The seismic base consists of a main bearing layer and an intermediate
gravel-pebble bed. The bearing layer is made of driven piles. The size of the base correlate
with the length of the transverse seismic wave and the total cross-sectional area ofthe piles is
5-7% from the total area of the base.
The patent for invention RU 248776 C1. A way to strengthen the foundations in seismically
hazardous zones (Lubyagin AV, 2011). This method involves pressing injectors into the
ground and feeding hardening solution through them under pressure, first along the contour of
the reinforced area, and after hardening the solution - inside the resulting contour.
Patent for invention RU 2 475 595. Barrier for protecting built-up areas from surface seismic
waves (Kuznetsov SV, Mkrtychev OV, Nafasov AE) Barrier for protecting built-up areas from
surface seismic waves surrounds the protected area , the upper edge of the barrier is on the
ground surface. The shape of the barrier is convex, the width of the barrier is not less than one
length of the surface wave, the depth of the barrier must be not less than 1/5 of the length of
the surface wave.
As a result of the presented comparative analysis of the design possibilities of the wave
barriers, it follows that only horizontal barriers are of practical interest: artificial grounds.
The most rational method of constructing such a base is the “structural geo-massif,”
performed with the use of the technology of jet grouting of the soil.
This assumption was verified by the authors in the geological conditions of the Krasnodar
Territory. During the construction of the high-rise building complex “Sailing regatta” a
horizontal geotechnical barrier was made using rigid soil-concrete reinforcing elements.
Micro seismic zoning before and after the geotechnical barrier device showed that the device
of the horizontal geotechnical barrier in the form of a “structural geo-massif” leads to an
increase in the seismic rigidity of the construction site, which reduces its categorization under
seismic conditions [19].
After analyzing the presented materials, we can conclude that seismic barriers have
advantages over more traditional seismic protection systems, in particular:
Geotechnical barriers are located outside the protected buildings and structures, damage to the
barrier or its part will not entail damage to the protected object.
Seism isolating devices are effective in a certain frequency range; geotechnical barriers are
invariant with respect to the frequency spectrum of an earthquake.
Barriers can be used to protect buildings and structures built on foundations composed of
weak, water-saturated soils subject to vibro-liquefaction and vibro-creep.
Model-based analysis of seismic exposure on underground parts of buildings when using soil-
concrete geotechnical barriers is performed by the static finite element method based on the
theory of the substructure method [20].
5. CONCLUSION
But for the practical application of geotechnical barriers the accumulation of experimental
data and the development of a complex calculation theory is needed. Thanks to that one could
calculate and select elements of the wave system (the structure and geometry of the

foundation, the foundation structure and the construction object itself), and determine the
effect they have on the bearing properties of the building system [21].
A promising direction of research, in our opinion, is the collection and analysis of
experimental material on changes in the seismic rigidity of soil foundations modified by
reinforcement with rigid vertical soil-concrete elements with a flexible distribution layer.
