Whatever the level of seismicity of a country, the seismic risk has to be assessed and accounted in the frame of nuclear plant safety, from its design, during its operati [...]

This paper aims to present a new method for generating incoherent seismic ground motions on the basis of the stochastic deconvolution technique and the spectral represent [...]

Existing methods of evaluation based on the undrained behavior cannot always provide a realistic prediction to post-liquefaction deformation and strength behavior of satu [...]

Backfill cohesion can significantly reduce active seismic earth pressure. The influence of this factor on earthquake-induced displacement of walls was discussed. Based on [...]

This paper presents static and shaking table collapse tests as well as numerical simulations conducted on a series of 5 one-bay and one-storey RC frames with different be [...]

Utility tunnel(UT) is an integration system containing many sub-lifeline systems like water transmitting, power, telecommunication, gas-supply system, etc, so, UT is key [...]

Differential Effective Medium (DEM) theory is applied to the problem of estimating physical properties of elastic media with penny-shaped cracks, filled with gas or liqu [...]
