The present study aims at proposing a method to evaluate the peak frequency in the microtremor H/V spectra efficiently. The proposed method deals with the spectra as the [...]

This study aims at proposing an evaluation method of the life-cycle cost of quay walls in view of earthquake resistance. Major failure mode of quay walls by earthquake is [...]

A major criterion of damage levels of a gravity type quay wall by an earthquake is residual deformation. For example, maximum residual deformations of gravity type quay w [...]

In this article, a procedure is presented for strong motion prediction which is suitable for the areas with high seismicity but less information on subsurface structures. [...]

The Buckling Restrained Brace (BRB) was developed in Japan at the end of 1980, and had been used as a typical hysteresis damper, which absorbs an input earthquake (EQ) en [...]

A steel moment frame is categorized as the most ductile structure, therefore, basically has an excellent earthquake (EQ) resistant capacity. However, in 1995 Kobe EQ, pre [...]
