The M w 6.3 Meinong earthquake, which struck southern Taiwan on February 6, 2016, was characterized by an oblique left lateral strike-slip motion with a minor reverse com [...]

There is limited information on the behavior of connections between rectangular hollow section (RHS) columns and Hshaped beams. Since the RHS column has a closed section, [...]

Earthquakes and rainfalls are the two most important factors to cause landslides. However, the coupling effect of the two factors on landslides is rarely considered in th [...]

This paper has collected the data of approximately 793 strong ground motion records, along with a comparable macroseismic intensity data from 28 China earthquakes, 52 Ame [...]

The shear modulus is the most basic parameter and can be attained by the experiments in the field or in the laboratory. The maximum dynamic shear modulus obtained in the [...]

Based on field geological investigation at permafrost regions, geological description and test of waves velocities of the 14 typical drilling holes distributing permafros [...]

The fiber model and the equivalent beam model are all used in this thesis. Calculations were conducted to simulate a shaking table test of a nine story 1:6 scale frame-sh [...]

As viewed from concept, seismic subsidence of loess is an abrupt settlement of soil due to earthquake loading in non-saturated and low moisture conditions. In laboratory [...]

Now pile foundation is widely used in the earthquake-prone loess area of China. However, negative skin friction (NSF) along piles induced by a sudden settlement of loess [...]

Rural villages in China often fall victims of earthquake. The main cause of high seismic vulnerability is lacking seismic design and poor construction habit. With the rap [...]
