Using Finite Element Method in Seismic Analysis: A Literature Review on Diaphragm Wall

Abstract

Abstract The increasing complexity of machine tools and the rising cost of procuring equipment and machine downtime have drawn researchers’ attention to the development of non-contact structural health monitoring systems. One of these is using finite element modeling software that can oversee the problem in different structures, scenarios, and applications in the environment. FE modeling is applicable and time-efficient, but its applications have limitations due to inconsistencies in the real-time of its structures. For some FE, debugging is time-consuming for extensive analyses. Also, the nonlinearity of the structures increased the complexity, leading to higher memory requirements for the software. This paper discussed past research regarding underground structures assessing seismic with FEM analysis. It also aims to define the behavior, accuracy, and applicability of software imposed in specific structures and the seismic analysis that can be applied to set the in-situ parameters and then generate it for FE modeling.
