A deterministic seismic hazard analysis (DSHA) study was carried out for Nepal. The catalogue of earthquakes was updated for Nepal and the adjoining region (26°-31.7°N, [...]

Stochastic point source method with its extended version finite fault method is widely used to simulate strong ground motions around the world. In view of the limitation [...]

Foundations located at different elevations will result in vertical structural irregularities of mountain structures. Usually, the vertical structural irregularities can [...]

Viscoelastic damper is a kind of widely-used energy dissipation device, which can be equipped in building structures for wind or earthquake vibration control. However, th [...]

In performance-based earthquake engineering, a large number of ground-motion time histories are needed for analyzing the distribution of dynamic response of nonlinear sys [...]

Firstly, the spatial distribution graphic of two-dimensional membership function for 4 types of standard site was presented. It can be used in fuzzying the site classific [...]

Firstly, the fuzzy characteristics of site classifications were analyzed, the spatial distribution of two-dimensional membership function for 4 types of site was presente [...]

As an extension of static pushover analysis into nonlinear dynamic analysis to estimate more thoroughly structural performance under seismic loads, incremental dynamic an [...]

Probabilistic seismic capacity analysis (PSCA) plays an important role in the field of seismic performance evaluation, seismic reliability analysis, seismic fragility ana [...]

Based on the results of visual inspection data and earthquake damage survey from old buildings, a safety assessment and assistance decision system is developed by using s [...]
