This paper describes an analytical model for seismic response of buried pipelines to surface wave propagation effects. This model accounts for the mechanism of shear tran [...]

In this paper, a global limit state function for load-carrying capacity of structural system is firstly set up, in which the margin of safety is the difference between th [...]

Probabilistic seismic demand analysis (PSDA) is an approach for computing the mean annual frequency of exceeding a specified seismic demand for a given structure at a des [...]

A procedure is developed for the earthquake response analysis of dam–reservoir-foundation system. The arch/gravity dam and a near filed foundation region are modeled wi [...]

CFRP has a light weight, high tensile strength, and a high resistance to the corrosion and fatigue. These properties make CFRP attracted increasing interests in civil eng [...]

This paper presents two series of tests on steel beam to concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) column connections and repaired concrete-filled steel tubular connections af [...]

The 5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake has caused a huge loss to the lives of Sichuan people and their properties. Immediately after the earthquake, the Ministry of Industry and In [...]

Studies of 3D temporal characteristics of earthquake ground motions and the structural responses are definitely motivated by seismic damage to structures. It is well know [...]

In recent years, FRP (fiber-reinforced polymer/plastic) has been widely used in retrofitting of R/C structures due to its high tensile property. Many research works and a [...]

Moment connections in a 34-story steel building located in Kaohsiung, Taiwan were rehabilitated to satisfy seismic requirements based on the 2005 AISC seismic provisions. [...]
