This paper investigates the coherence factor of rhythmic jumping and its application for simulation of crowd jumping load. Experiments were conducted using three-dimensio [...]

Many seismic codes have suggested that the response spectrum should be specified at bedrock level, and then, the calculated free field response spectrum from bedrock will [...]

Measuring the deformation of structural members is fundamental to evaluating the performance of structures. As an effective and practical method for measuring the deforma [...]

The random uncertainties of the mass, damping and stiffness matrices in finite element models are modeled by random matrices, and a highly efficient pseudo excitation met [...]

The column over-design factor is generally used in structural design to prevent plastification of columns. This study performs the stochastic dynamic analysis to evaluate [...]

We investigated the time-dependent number of deaths reported through internet after earthquakes and/or tsunamis based on our previous model and the new results of earthqu [...]

A random vibration methodology is formulated for the seismic analysis of cable-stayed bridges subjected to spatially varying ground motions. The ground motion spatial var [...]

Earthquake is the top in all of nature disasters. It can bring a series of social or psychological or mentality and economic heavy impacts. Human being tries to seek a wa [...]

In this paper, a simple formula for predicting the axial capacity of circular concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) stub columns is proposed. The concrete confinement, which d [...]
