Neotectonic deformation features in plio-pleistocene coastal aeolianites: palaeoseismology and earthquake hazard implications for the Southern Cape, South Africa [PDF]

, 2013
Deformation features within Plio-Pleistocene Bredasdorp Group coastal aeolianites within the Southern Cape, South Africa, have been studied to resolve the neotectonic history of the region, estimate the recent to current upper-crustal stress field, and ...

Energy evolution‐based damage quantification and failure prediction of fault zone tunnel lining concrete: A novel acoustic emission–strain energy coupling approach

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study investigates the damage evolution and failure mechanisms of tunnel lining concrete in active fault zones through uniaxial compression tests integrated with acoustic emission (AE) monitoring. A strong linear correlation is identified between the AE cumulative absolute energy and the total strain energy, providing a reliable energy‐based ...

Analytical Framework for System‐Level Fragility Surfaces of Reinforced Concrete Bridges Under Mainshock‐Aftershock Sequences

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventional single intensity measure (IM) fragility approaches with simplified component dependency assumptions overlook the progressive damage accumulation and evolving inter‐component correlations that govern system behavior under mainshock‐aftershock (MSAS) loading.

Numerical and Experimental Evaluation of a Simplified Lateral Spring Formulation for Rocking Structures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rocking podium isolation systems have gained significant research interest as a method of limiting seismic demands on superstructures and eliminating residual post‐earthquake drifts through self‐centring behaviour. However, while numerous models of varying complexity, including analytical, phenomenological, and physical formulations, have been

Energy‐Based Characterisation of Earthquake Damage in Masonry Infills Through Combined In‐Plane and Out‐of‐Plane Experimental Tests

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seismic capacity of structural systems/members is usually defined in terms of deformation thresholds. Although this is effective in many circumstances, disregarding cumulative quantities such as hysteretic energy may be ineffective when low‐cycle fatigue is relevant (e.g., long‐duration ground motions, very soft soils, ground‐motion ...

Design Internal Forces of Non‐Dissipative Members in CBFs With Regular and Irregular Brace Configurations

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Steel Concentrically Braced Frames (CBFs) are widely used in seismic regions, with chevron and split‐X configurations commonly adopted for their structural efficiency and architectural flexibility. Although extensive research has been carried out on these systems, the effectiveness of the formulations available in the literature for estimating

Measurement of small co-seismic deformation field from multi-temporal SAR interferometry: application to the 19 September 2004 Huntoon Valley earthquake

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2017
Interferometric synthetic aperture (InSAR) has been widely applied to natural disaster monitoring. However, it has limitations due to the influence of noise sources such as atmospheric and topographic artefacts, data processing errors, etc. In particular,

Study on crustal deformation of Wenchuan Ms8.0 earthquake using wide-swath ScanSAR and MODIS

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2011
This paper presents a broad-range study of the co-seismic deformation field of Wenchuan Ms8.0 earthquake by ScanSAR interferometry. The results show co-seismic displacements ranging from −19.8 on the footwall side of the seismogenic fault to 73.6 cm on ...

Stima della potenza dissipata per attrito durante i terremoti: confronto tra faglie sperimentali e naturali. = Estimate of frictional seismic power dissipation from natural and experimental faults. [PDF]

, 2012
In the last decades, several approaches were applied to understand the physics of seismic faulting. In the field, the recognition of pseudotachylytes (solidified friction melts produced during seismic slip) which record seismic ruptures along a fault ...
