Dimensional response analysis of multistorey regular steel MRF subjected to pulselike earthquake ground motions [PDF]
An alternative and efficient procedure to estimate the maximum inelastic roof displacement and the maximum inelastic interstorey drift ratio along the height of regular multi-storey steel MRF subjected to pulse-like ground motions is proposed. The method

Research on Testing Methods of Life Detection Equipment for Water-bearing Soil Disasters [PDF]
Aiming at the current water-bearing soil disaster life detection equipment testing research is relatively small, mainly relying on key components and equipment as a whole of the factory test, the lack of standardised system testing problems, this paper ...

Response of streamflow to multiple earthquakes
We analyze the streamflow response of Sespe Creek, CA, to several large earthquakes. We find that flow increased after three earthquakes, and that the observed changes in flow have the same character. Both those earthquakes that induced static extension and those that induced static contraction cause flow to increase; streamflow thus appears to respond

Dimensional response analysis of bilinear systems subjected to non-pulselike earthquake ground motions [PDF]
The maximum inelastic response of bilinear single-degree-of-freedom systems when subjected to ground motions without distinguishable pulses is revisited with dimensional analysis by identifying time scales and length scales in the time histories of ...

Meshfree model for earthquake-induced transient response in a porous seabed [PDF]
The earthquake-induced seabed instability is one of critical issues that need to be considered in the offshore structure design procedure. However, the investigations of the earthquake-induced seabed behaviour are limited. Most previous studies regard to

Applying the Coulomb Failure Function with an optimally oriented plane to the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake triggering [PDF]
The Coulomb failure function (CFF) quantitatively describes static stress changes in secondary faults near the source fault of an earthquake. CFF can be employed to monitor how static stress transfers and then shed some light on the probability of ...
