Based on the analysis of seismogeological background, the Three Gorges Reservoir area is divided into 31 units according to different combined conditions of induced earth [...]

Two modes of elastic and plastic finite element models for continuous beam bridge are established. Linear viscous fluid dampers are set at the location of the kinetic bea [...]

Before subject to complex cyclic loading induced by seismic loading, the initial stress conditions of soil element beneath the foundation under the structures generally c [...]

The authors performed subsurface field investigations at liquefaction/non-liquefaction sites from the 1976 Tangshan Earthquake. These sites were re-investigated because t [...]

The research about the underground-pipes excited by dynamical seismic wave is still blanket all over the world. By the two layered-equipped shear boxes fixed on the shaki [...]

The first part of the paper introduces an orthogonal expansion method for earthquake ground motion. In the method, seismic acceleration process is represented as a linear [...]

Usually lifeline systems, such as water distribution network and gas supply network, cover large areas. For these systems, network topology design based on seismic reliab [...]

Two analytical models for a tall pier and a low pier are developed based on the elastic-plastic beam-column element and the elastic-plastic fiber beam-column element. Str [...]

The variation of the structure response stems from the randomness involved both in the loads and in the structural parameters. Although the load randomness is deemed as t [...]

Since a stochastic process may be represented perfectly by a family of functions with random parameters, an original random function model, in this context, for earthquak [...]
