Rocking and Rolling of Rigid Polygons Under Seismic Excitation

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present an event driven analytical framework for rigid cyclic polygons subjected to horizontal ground excitation in which uplift, impact, and successive pivot switching are treated within a unified non‐smooth dynamical description. Rolling is defined as a sequence of energetically admissible transitions between neighbouring vertices tied to

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 ...

Climate Driven Water Table Changes and Their Influence on Liquefaction Response of Integral Bridges

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Integral abutment bridges (IABs) eliminate bearings and joints but transfer seismic demand directly into the surrounding soil, making their response highly sensitive to groundwater conditions and soil–structure interaction. This study presents a 60 g centrifuge testing programme on single‐span IABs designed to isolate the influence of water ...

Surrogate‐Based Time‐Continuous Seismic Fragility Assessment of Corrosion‐Deteriorated Reinforced Concrete Bridges Under Climate Change

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seismic fragility assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges exposed to corrosive environments must reliably capture time‐dependent deterioration impacts. Climate change compounds this challenge through nonstationary temperature and humidity variations that accelerate bridge corrosion.

Seismic Response of Existing Masonry‐Infilled RC Frame Structures Retrofitted with Steel Exoskeletons

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Considering the needs for reducing carbon emissions and except for extreme cases of very degraded existing structures, research on technologies allowing continued use or upgrading of older buildings has become a priority topic. Generally, research on upgrading of reinforced concrete frame structures certainly has a prominent role, because of ...

Time‐Variant Seismic Fragility of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Piers Considering Degradation Phenomena

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aging and environmental exposure progressively deteriorate the physical and mechanical properties of construction materials, thereby affecting the safety and functionality of existing infrastructure. Corrosion of steel rebars in reinforced concrete structures is widely acknowledged as the most common and detrimental degradation phenomenon, as ...

Mechanisms of Roadway Instability and Coupled Control Technology for Working Face Passing Through Fault Zones

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study mainly explores the instability characteristics of roadways near faults in the working face. Taking the 51104 transportation roadway of the 51104 working face in Shengxin Coal Mine as the main research object, through theoretical analysis, borehole inspection, numerical simulation and on‐site mine pressure observation, the instability ...
