Seismic study of shallow circular tunnel in Red River sand (Vietnam)

Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures, 2022
Attention should be paid to tunnels' seismic behaviour since many of them have been damaged by earthquakes. The paper presented a seismic study of a shallow circular tunnel by physical modelling on shaking table test.

Structural Health Monitoring of a Unidirectional Isolation Bridge: Bidirectional Seismic Behavior, Stochastic Model Updating, and Prediction

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 759-780, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate mechanical characterization of civil engineering structures after construction remains challenging due to the unique complexities of each structure, including geometric configurations, imperfect design modeling assumptions, soil conditions, and pervasive uncertainties in actual operational environments. Leveraging actual measurements,

Seismic Site Effects in Owhiro Bay Quarry, Wellington: Field Observations and Numerical Modelling

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
Local topography and geology are well known factors affecting the intensity of seismic shaking. We have investigated the seismic site effects at a site of the Owhiro Bay Quarry in Wellington, New Zealand, using instrumental records and numerical models.

Tuned liquid dampers simulation for earthquake response control of buildings [PDF]

, 2012
This paper is focused on the study of an earthquake protection system, the Tuned Liquid Damper (TLD), which can, if adequately designed, reduce earthquake demands on buildings. This positive effect is accomplished taking into account the oscillation of

Shallow Shear‐Wave Reflection Surveys in the Wellington Central Business District

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
Seismic reflection profiling using shear waves provides constraints on the thickness of sediments beneath the Wellington Central Business District. Standard seismic methods were modified for urban environments where limited grassed areas are available and levels of cultural noise are high.

Influences of different inclination modes on seismic response of inclined liquefiable site

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
In the study of the failure and large deformation of inclined site caused by lateral flow expansion of soil after seismic liquefaction, different inclined modes will have a certain impact on the test results, but the research results on the impact ...

Examining the Affordances of Engineering and Curricular Supports for Learning Among Emerging Bilingual Elementary Afterschool Students

Science Education, Volume 110, Issue 2, Page 357-378, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Engineering design provides students with unique opportunities to engage with disciplinary knowledge and practices by engaging with technologies and each other through the design process. In this paper, we identify how the co‐construction of an engineering afterschool club culture supported students’ engagement in epistemic practices of ...

Abrupt Along‐Strike Change of Shallow Seismicity in Central and Southern Myanmar: Insights From High‐Resolution Local‐Earthquake Catalogs and Focal Mechanisms

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Myanmar's high seismic hazard is underscored by the 2025 Mw 7.7 earthquake on the Sagaing Fault, yet its seismicity patterns and underlying controls remain poorly understood. Using new seismic data from the 2nd‐phase array of the China‐Myanmar Geophysical Survey in the Myanmar Orogen, we construct a high‐resolution catalog of 1,819 local ...

A comparative study between gravel and rubber drainage columns for mitigation of liquefaction hazards

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2018
Liquefaction is one of the most destructive natural hazards that cause damage to engineering structures during an earthquake. This study aims to examine the effect of rubber and gravel drainage columns on the reduction of liquefaction potential of ...
