Mechanism of rain-wind induced vibrations (RWIVs) of the stay cables of cable-stayed bridges has not been thoroughly clarified yet. Previous experimental studies mainly f [...]

One of the major concerns of engineering seismology is to understand and explain vibration properties of the soil excited by near earthquakes. Alluvial deposits, often ve [...]

Concentric-braced steel frames often fracture at the mid-length of the braces during strong ground motions when the members and connections are properly designed and deta [...]

Seismic vulnerability models of typical highway piers under the near-fault ground motions were developed based on the incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) method. On the se [...]

Not only the ground failure but also the change of natural frequency of the site is induced by the liquefied layer, while from the vibration point of view the structure s [...]

Smart Structure Engineering (SSE) comes from the traditional civil engineering, which combined with smart materials, information technology and automatic control. Smart S [...]

An efficient hybrid structural system is obtained when reinforced concrete (RC) core walls are used in conjunction with steel perimeter frames. Core walls can be effectiv [...]

At present, the seismic design of structures is mainly based on the response spectra. The seismic responses for the deep foundations, the underground structures and struc [...]

Liquefaction is one of the important reasons in earthquake damages. The response and damage for the foundations and underground structures are dominated by soil deformati [...]
