          soil type, stone columns allow to reduce the risk of
        
        
          liquefaction by drainage, stress concentration or compaction;
        
        
          high-condensed soil pillows improve the bearing capacity
        
        
          and reduce the compressibility of soils.
        
        
          
        
        
          
            Seismic isolation techniques
          
        
        
          : a screening system for
        
        
          vibrations/seismic waves is proposed; synthetic liners are
        
        
          proposed to isolate an embankment having a bridge pier on
        
        
          top (sliding motion is thus allowed).
        
        
          
        
        
          
            Piles and foundations
          
        
        
          : for open-ended piles, new equations
        
        
          are proposed to estimate the skin friction and end bearing
        
        
          factor from the plug length ratio; performance-based Limit
        
        
          States Design including soil-foundation-structure interaction
        
        
          allows to reduce the foundation seismic and the pile length;
        
        
          the design of windmill foundations may be optimized
        
        
          accounting for the soil type (e.g. skirt around shallow
        
        
          foundations, floating piles in loess); the effect of the loading
        
        
          history on soil-structure systems is assessed by the Dynamic
        
        
          Hereditary creep theory and vibrostamp experiments.
        
        
          
        
        
          
            Numerical modelling
          
        
        
          : 3D FEM simulations are performed to
        
        
          assess the influence of spacing in multi-arch culverts; earth
        
        
          pressure coefficients on vertical rigid walls are computed by
        
        
          a 3D limit analysis approach for various aspect ratios and
        
        
          compared to 2D values; the 3D response of a suspension
        
        
          bridge anchor block to oblique-slip fault movement is
        
        
          modelled by the FEM, it evidences a kinematic constraint to
        
        
          the propagating fault; the dynamic behaviour of a 3D soil-
        
        
          foundation-building system is studied by the FEM, the forces
        
        
          along the piles may significantly exceed that at the pile heads
        
        
          in layered soils.
