Dynamic response analysis of non-linear structures involving random parameters under earthquakes has been an important and challenging problem for a long time. As a newly [...]

A physical method m of moddeling phase spectrum s (i.e. Fourier phasee spectrum) is derived throuugh defining tthe relationshiips between the relative arrivval time of w [...]

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures induced by extreme earthquakes will experience a strong nonlinear state which may cause partial or overall collapse. Meanwhile, the co [...]

Following the prototype of a 12-storey residential building, a 1/10 scaled model of RC short limb shear wall structure was designed and constructed. And the seismic resis [...]

The dynamic response of the utility tunnel is studied when the Rayleigh waves is considered. First the free field response under the Rayleigh wave passage is analyzed and [...]

The research about the underground-pipes excited by dynamical seismic wave is still blanket all over the world. By the two layered-equipped shear boxes fixed on the shaki [...]

The first part of the paper introduces an orthogonal expansion method for earthquake ground motion. In the method, seismic acceleration process is represented as a linear [...]

Usually lifeline systems, such as water distribution network and gas supply network, cover large areas. For these systems, network topology design based on seismic reliab [...]

The variation of the structure response stems from the randomness involved both in the loads and in the structural parameters. Although the load randomness is deemed as t [...]

Since a stochastic process may be represented perfectly by a family of functions with random parameters, an original random function model, in this context, for earthquak [...]
