As routine equipment in UHV substation, capacitor bank gets highly earthquake vulnerability because of its high center of gravity, big quality and low-intensity support s [...]

The structural performance of damaged open-web type of steel encased reinforced concrete (SRC) beam-columns with bolt- connected batten steel plates after retrofitting wa [...]

This paper presents results of an experimental program undertaken to evaluate the seismic performance of concrete circular columns reinforced with ultra-high-strength (UH [...]

A numerical model of electric loop in 1000 kV UHV substation has been developed. The mechanical property of electric loop has been studied under earthquake excitation wit [...]

Step-terrace RC moment frame, which foundations are not at same elevation level, is one of typical structures in mountain cities and its seismic behavior is different fro [...]

The seismic fortification levels of electrical equipment have been more and more attention after Wenchuan earthquake. The current seismic requirement level of electrical [...]

In this study, the seismic behavior of the main tower building of Beijing Yintai Center is presented with regard to the dynamic characteristics analysis and seismic respo [...]

Sub-structure online seismic tests were conducted to investigate effects of the friction damper on seismic behavior of a composite structure consisting of an old concrete [...]
