Soil Profiles and Seismic Loading [PDF]
The contribution estimates different geotechnical profiles of site condition change and their influences on the computed seismic response spectra and time histories final values and forms applying on the seismic structures loading. The mentioned problems

An artificial accelerogram generator code written in Matlab
Artificial accelerograms are a very useful tool for designing structures against seismic hazards; in particular, when structures exhibit nonlinear behavior.

Performance of heterogeneous earthfill dams under earthquakes: optimal location of the impervious core [PDF]
Earthfill dams are man-made geostructures which may be especially damaged by seismic loadings, because the soil skeleton they are made of suffers remarkable modifications in its mechanical properties, as well as changes of pore water pressure and flow of

Dynamic modelling of the behaviour of the quarkiss earthen dam under seismic loads [PDF]
The dynamic modelling of the behaviour of the Ouarkiss earthen dam under seismic loads was performed using the finite elements method (FEM), with an approach in effective stresses.

The prestressed lead damper (PS‐LED) is a novel hysteretic damper that leverages the friction developed between a straight steel shaft and a lead core to dissipate seismic energy. A key feature of the device is the possibility to adjust its axial force by changing the prestress applied to the lead core, enabling customization to meet specific design ...

Analyses of strong motion earthquake accelerograms, Volume III - Response spectra; Part A - Accelerograms IIA001 through IIA020 [PDF]
This is the first volume of a series presenting earthquake response spectrum curves calculated from corrected ground accelerograms. An introduction summarizes response spectrum techniques in earthquake engineering as a background to the use of the data ...

ABSTRACT This study compares two approaches for determining earthquake magnitude (M) and source‐to‐site distance (R) to assess seismic scenarios in Italy. The first method relies on geological criteria from the Italian seismogenic sources database (DISS3.3.0), while the second method uses historical earthquakes from the DBMI‐CPTI15 Italian catalogue ...

An energy-based envelope function for the stochastic simulation of earthquake accelerograms [PDF]
An energy-based envelope function is developed for use in the stochastic simulation of earthquake ground motion. The envelope function is directly related to the Arias intensity of the ground motion as well to the manner in which this Arias intensity is ...

Abstract While classic double‐couple earthquake models explain seismic wavefields accurately at low frequencies, at higher frequencies, seismic radiation exhibits significantly more complex and stochastic characteristics. Various on‐fault and off‐fault mechanisms have been proposed to explain high‐frequency radiation, yet their relative contributions ...
