The Palmas Altas footbridge is a recently built bridge in Sevilla (Spain) designed by architect Richard Rogers. It is a 78.6m long steel-concrete box girder. The bridge h [...]

We present an implicit-explicit multi-time-step method for structural dynamics using the family of Generalized-α methods. With the proposed partitioned method, one can d [...]

As viewed from concept, seismic subsidence of loess is an abrupt settlement of soil due to earthquake loading in non-saturated and low moisture conditions. In laboratory [...]

In this paper, the authors research the response of grottoes’ country rock with prestressed anchors during seismic loadings by a numerical analysis method. Its primary [...]

A series of one-g shake-table experiments using a large rigid wall soil container was conducted to investigate countermeasures for piles in liquefying ground stratum. Spe [...]

Real-time testing with dynamic substructuring (RTDS) is a novel form of hybrid numerical-experimental testing technique used to simulate structures subjected to seismic l [...]

In this paper, performance of passive viscous and friction dampers subject to near-fault ground motion velocity pulses for elastic and inelastic structures has been inves [...]

Near-fault ground motions are characterized by long-period pulses with high peak ground velocity. In this paper, a simplified closed-form approximation using decaying sin [...]
