Earthquake Early Warning System (EEWS) has been proved to be one of the effective ways for earthquake damage mitigation. As the progress of low-cost Micro Electro Mechani [...]

Long-span bridge structures tend to fail under the extreme earthquakes, and nonlinearity should be considered in simulating this kind of event. It is difficult to simulat [...]

This paper develops the ‘Damage Analysis Method’ to detect, locate and quantify multiple damages in civil structures. Damage extent coefficients are proposed to be us [...]

Near-fault directivity effects can produce ground motions with high-amplitude, short duration pulses, which may cause serious damage to structures and buildings. Their pr [...]

In nonlinear Response analysis of reinforce concrete (RC) structures and/or members, the shear effect is usually neglected for the members with large shear span ratio, su [...]

Based on the wave propagation theory and the lumped-mass explicit finite element procedure with a local transmitting artificial boundary, the substructure method is formu [...]

Nine full-scale isolated non-structrual reinforced concrete panels with in-plane dowel connectors jointed to the surrounding structural frames were tested under cyclic di [...]

The parametric system identification method has been used to construct soil layer models and compute average model parameters of the ground vibration monitoring data at C [...]

A period of more than 2 days measurements of the ambient seismic noise were conducted inside a reinforced concrete (RC) building in central Beijing. The temporal seismic [...]
