A semi-analytical procedure is presented to obtain the coupling lateral-rocking impedances between adjacent strip footings rested on an elastic half space. The interfaces [...]

In both Chinese and Japanese building codes, a two-stage design philosophy, damage limitation (small earthquake) and life safety (extreme large earthquake), is adopted. T [...]

Vertical earthquake components are usually insignificant during seismic analysis and design, whereas a safe design for the horizontal seismic responses is assumed to acco [...]

Recently, very strong vertical ground motions have been recorded during several earthquakes and have been considered to be critical to structure designs. Similar to horiz [...]

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has become an important technology with which to calculate the crustal deformation and displacement waves produced by earthq [...]

To date, numerous individual and system-level experimental studies have illustrated that the mode of foundation rocking advantageously can provide dissipation of seismic [...]

Has discussed certain questions in the project seismic design, including: The related seismic motion parameter's value should unify in the Chinese seismic motion paramete [...]

In the common engineering network system, the transformation of the working state, from safety to failure, of unit and system is gradual. There is an intermediate state b [...]

Gas pipeline leakage and diffusion process caused by seismic disasters, the transient model for leaking gas in different diffusion links is established and the correspond [...]
