Historical seismograms for unravelling a mysterious earthquake: The 1907 Sumatra Earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
History of instrumental seismology is short. Seismograms are available only for a little more than 100 years; high-quality seismograms are available only for the last 50 years and the seismological database is very limited in time. To extend the database,

Centrifuge modeling of rocking-isolated inelastic RC bridge piers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Experimental proof is provided of an unconventional seismic design concept, which is based on deliberately underdesigning shallow foundations to promote intense rocking oscillations and thereby to dramatically improve the seismic resilience of structures.
