A M6.5 earthquake struck Ludian County, Yunan Province, China on August 3, 2014. The earthquake was proved to be very destructive, although the magnitude is moderate. The [...]

This study develops a posterior h-hierarchical adaptive scaled boundary finite element method for transient elastodynamic problems using a mesh refinement procedure which [...]

In order to compare seismic performances between steel frames with high strength steel columns and ordinary strength steel columns, three models were designed which met t [...]

The vertical earthquake actions of high rise buildings with connecting structure are necessary to consider for there are abundant vertical vibration modes of the connecti [...]

The problems of SH-wave scattering, which are caused by a shallow-embedded circular lining structure and beeline crack of arbitrary length and arbitrary position, are stu [...]

Frozen ground is significantly stiffer than unfrozen ground. For bridges supported on deep foundations, the bridge stiffness is also measurably increased in the winter mo [...]

This paper discussed the use of nonlinear static and dynamic methods in high-rise buildings under rare earthquake in China these years. These nonlinear static and dynamic [...]

Some studies have shown that the seasonally frozen soils have a significant effect on the dynamic properties of building structures, which will yield increases in the fun [...]

Using the Green’s function, the complex function and moving coordinates, an analytical method is developed for scattering of SH -wave by a semi-cylindrical hill above a [...]
