Seismicity induced by deep mining is typically characterized by quakes with local magnitude ranging from 4.5 to 5.5 and surface ground motion with Modified Mercalli inten [...]

Shaking table testing has been regarded as one of the most direct experimental methods to evaluate the seismic response of structural systems subjected to earthquake grou [...]

This paper reports on the damage observed after the recent April 6, 2009 earthquake that hit the city of L’Aquila, in the Abruzzi Region, in Italy. The main shock measu [...]

Located at the western Circum Pacific Seismic Belt, Taiwan suffers from earthquakes frequently caused by the interactive extruding at the interface between the Philippine [...]

Performance-Based Design is now widely recognized as the pre-eminent seismic design methodology for structures. The question thus naturally arises: Are Force-Based Design [...]

A National research project was recently carried out to develop a robust methodology for the design and retrofit of wharves structures located in areas of high to moderat [...]

During the past decades, a number of ports worldwide have suffered extensive earthquake-related damages. As seaports play a key role in the economy of many countries, tar [...]

A Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA) at Kancheepuram was carried out under the aegis of an Indo-Italian Significant Bilateral Project on seismic vulnerability [...]

Seismic response of underground structures is controlled by the earthquake-induced ground strain field and its interaction with the structure. Focusing on the response of [...]

A multi-function unseating prevention device is investigated to provide energy dissipation and to regulate the structural system properties other than the traditional fun [...]
