Simplified Estimation of Economic Seismic Risk for Buildings [PDF]
, 2004 A seismic risk assessment is often performed on behalf of a buyer of commercial buildings in seismically active regions. One outcome of the assessment is that a probable maximum loss (PML) is computed.

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

A shaking table real-time substructure experiment of an equipment–structure–soil interaction system
Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2017 Based on branch substructure method, this article deduces motion equation of an equipment–structure–soil interaction system. The equation is converted and applied to a shaking table real-time substructure experiment.

Numerical and experimental investigations on seismic response of building frames under influence of soil-structure interaction [PDF]
, 2014 In this study, an enhanced numerical soil-structure model has been developed which treats the behaviour of soil and structure with equal rigour. The proposed numerical soil-structure model has been verified and validated by performing experimental ...

Design and simulation of hydraulic shaking table [PDF]
, 2006 Recent industrial progress and computational technology made it possible to construct more complex structures. Vibration of these structures due to seismic strength must be measured and proved to prevent them from damage when they are subjected to ...

Sensitivity of Building Loss Estimates to Major Uncertain Variables [PDF]
, 2002 This paper examines the question of which sources of uncertainty most strongly affect the repair cost of a building in a future earthquake. Uncertainties examined here include spectral acceleration, ground-motion details, mass, damping, structural force ...

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020 The damage to a concrete wall caused by a strong earthquake is generally concentrated at the bottom of the concrete wall, which seriously threatens the safety of the steel-concrete hybrid structure and is very difficult to repair after an earthquake.

Analysis of Multilayered Ground Amplification Characteristics by Scaled-Down Model Tests
Applied Sciences, 2022 During an earthquake, seismic waves travel through different media through the source to reach the surface. It is very necessary to study the dynamic characteristics of soil between different layers during earthquake.
