The response of structures to earthquake loading
1968This thesis considers the theoretical determination of the elasto-plastic response of structures to earthquake loading. The particular structures studied are a railway bridge and four multi-storey buildings: one with a tall flexible steel frame, two others with open reinforced concrete frames and the other a reinforced concrete spandrel beam frame ...

Numerical simulation for the pile with earthquake load
2011 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Communication Software and Networks, 2011Downdrag develops when a pile is driven through a soil layer which will settle more than the pile. The estimate of downdrag forces is important to pile undergoing soil downward movement. Much numerical analysis work has been done on the behavior of single pile based on the linear or nonlinear finite element analysis, much less work has been done on ...

Robust Design Optimization for Earthquake Loads
2013The design of structures, with the help of numerical procedures, is one of the most challenging engineering tasks. The structure has to withstand all dead loads, live loads, and unpredictable events as earthquakes. Earthquake analysis itself is, due to the high lack of information, sophisticated.

On the Collapse of a Masonry Tower Subjected to Earthquake Loadings
2003Some early results of a research study on the behaviour of masonry towers under the seismic actions are illustrated. The results regard analysis of the so-called "Tower of Matilde", the bell tower of the Santa Maria e San Genesio Cathedral in the medieval town of San Miniato, near Pisa (Italy).

The Earthquake Fatality Load: A Measure of Impact
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of AmericaABSTRACT A key measure of the earthquake problem in a country is the ratio of fatalities to population size. We propose that the new parameter earthquake fatality load per year objectively measures the level of the population suffering in seismically active countries, that is, it indicates the average annual cost in lives.

Investigation of Piles Under Earthquake Load
2018Piles can be advantageous for construction, mainly due to strength increasing properties in foundation soils. Piles are used to support the foundations of both new structures and existing structures suffering damage. Piles are widely used in active areas, where they may have to resist significant vertical and earthquake loads.
