Development of an earthquake-induced landslide risk assessment approach for nuclear power plants
Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2018 Despite recent advances in multi-hazard analysis, the complexity and inherent nature of such problems make quantification of the landslide effect in a probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) of NPPs challenging.

Analysis of Soil-Structure Interaction Effects of NPP Structures on Nonhomogeneous Subsoil [PDF]
, 2019 This paper describes the soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects to the Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) structure with reactor VVER-1200. The simplified 1D and numerical 3D FE models of the nonhomogeneous subsoil are investigated.

Dynamic one-sided out-of-plane behavior of unreinforced-masonry wall restrained by elasto-plastic tie-rods [PDF]
, 2019 Past earthquakes have shown the high vulnerability of existing masonry buildings, particularly to out-of-plane local collapse mechanisms. Such mechanisms can be prevented if façades are restrained by tie rods improving the connections to perpendiculars ...

Interpreting intraplate tectonics for seismic hazard : a UK historical perspective [PDF]
, 2012 It is notoriously difficult to construct seismic source models for probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in intraplate areas on the basis of geological information, and many practitioners have given up the task in favour of purely seismicity-based ...

Shear critical R/C columns under increasing axial load [PDF]
, 2020 Structural elements in old reinforced concrete (R/C) frame buildings are often prone to shear or flexure-shear failure, which can eventually lead to loss of axial load capacity of vertical elements and initiate vertical progressive collapse of a building.
