Kahramanmaraş and its surroundings were devastated with major earthquake doublets of Mw = 7.8 Pazarcık and Mw = 7.6 Elbistan/Ekinözü on February 6th, 2023. While a wide scatter of reinforced concrete (RC) structures experienced damage, mid-rise residential buildings constitute a large bulk with heavy damage or total collapse. Among many reasons, po...

The implementation of closed-form solutions for stress and displacement fields around tunnels with arbitrary geometry, often based on the complex variable theory and the method of conformal mapping, can be quite challenging from a mathematical point of view. In this paper a solution strategy for the implementation of a chosen closed-form solution f...

In case of tunnels with arbitrary geometries, solutions for stresses and displacements in the tunnel exterior might be derived with the aid of the conformal mapping technique of the complex variable method. Thereby, the physical tunnel domain is mapped onto a fictitious unit circle domain on which the elastic potentials, as part of the final soluti...

The paper deals with the determination of the conformal mapping coefficients as used within analytical solutions in the framework of the complex variable theory and the method of conformal mapping. In this contribution an iterative scheme after He et al. (2022) is utilized to update points on the tunnel boundary and consequently to determine for th...
