Nowadays, height, scale and shape of super high-rise building and structure with height over 450 meters have been successively renewed in the world. In order to meet the [...]

Many urban areas in Taiwan are located in the alluvial deposit with high ground water level which is prone to soil liquefaction endangering buildings, transportation and [...]

A simplified evaluation method for the seismic fragility of subway stations is presented in this paper. Pushover-method, as an effective method, is wildly used and has be [...]

Based on Biot dynamic theory, an explicit finite element method for dynamic analysis of the fluid saturated porous media was proposed considering of the coupling massρa. [...]

In 2006, two major earthquakes shook Taiwan and brought destructions and casualties to eastern and southern parts of the island. The first happened on April 1st with magn [...]

The ground amplification effects caused by irregular surface topography and geological conditions have been the focus of research by both seismologists and earthquake eng [...]

In this paper, we combine downhole observations and broadband ground motion synthetics evaluated at three downhole array sites in the Los Angeles Basin, to investigate th [...]

Earthquake ground motion attenuation relationship is the base of compiling seismic zoning map and evaluating seismic safety for engineering sites. Based on the seismic in [...]

The isoseismal of seismic intensity is plotted based on the seismic damage to buildings for the 9.21 Taiwan Chi-Chi Earthquake. Then the paper calculated the average valu [...]
