Development and Validation of a Seismic Design Method for Anchored Retaining Walls

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Retaining walls with multiple anchor levels are widely used as permanent excavation support systems for the construction of linear infrastructures. Yet, their seismic behaviour remains largely unexplored, and current design approaches rely on conventional procedures that do not adequately reflect the actual dynamic response of these systems ...

Experiment and numerical analysis of prestressed unequal-walled rectangular concrete-filled steel box beams

open access: yesScientific Reports
When long-span beams undergo large, the strength of the beam material cannot be fully utilized. To solve this problem, a prestressed unequal-walled rectangular concrete-filled steel box (PURCFSB) beam is proposed in this paper.

Displacement Estimation of Structures With Flag‐Shaped Hysteresis Loops

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Time‐history analyses were conducted on single‐degree‐of‐freedom (SDOF) systems with flag‐shaped hysteresis loops using a far‐field ground motion suite to estimate peak displacements, Δp, and equivalent deformation cycles, Nc, associated with cumulative displacement demands.

THE SHEAR BEHAVIOUR OF THE REINFORCED CONCRETE FOUR-PILE CAPS

open access: yes, 2009
There has been a consistent discrepancy between UK design standards BS5400 and BS8110 in the prediction of the shear capacity of 2-way spanning reinforced concrete pile caps from bending theory-based empirical design formulae.

Enhancing the Seismic Resilience of Masonry‐Infilled RC Structures Using Rubber Joints: Full‐Scale 3D Shaking Table Tests

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Masonry infills in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are highly vulnerable to seismic damage, often sustaining severe cracking even under moderate ground motion, which in turn leads to considerable economic losses and safety risks. To address this issue, this study experimentally evaluates the effectiveness of two innovative rubber‐based joints ...

Direction‐Aware Period Prediction for Seismic Risk Assessment and Application to an Urban Tall Building Portfolio in China

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable estimation of the principal periods is essential for regional seismic risk assessment (RSRA) of urban building portfolios. For tall buildings, however, existing period‐prediction formulas are constrained by the lack of representative data, while building translational azimuths are neglected despite their importance for regional ...
