Seismic Design of Concrete Dams: An Integrated Risk‐Informed Performance‐Based (RIPB) Framework
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper advances the integration of risk‐informed principles into the seismic design of dams—a domain long guided by standards‐based, largely deterministic approaches. While performance‐based earthquake engineering is well established for buildings and bridges, its systematic adoption in dam engineering remains limited. We first address two

Geotechnical design with apparent seismic safety factors well-bellow 1 [PDF]
, 2014 The paper demonstrates that whereas often in seismic geotechnical design it is not realistically feasible to design with ample factor of safety against failure as is done in static design, an "engineering" apparent seismic factor of safety less than 1 ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent tsunamigenic earthquakes in Japan have highlighted the emerging fire hazard triggered by tsunami inundation and its impact on tsunami vertical evacuation (TVE) structures. This new type of fire following earthquake, referred to as “tsunami fires,” may be a potential universal hazard that tsunami‐prone countries face; however, it has not

Design on the Shaking Table Test for Ground Crack Dynamic Response under Earthquake
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2016 In this paper, according to a particular ground fissures in Xi’an city in the south of the actual stratigraphic profiles use a similar role of strong earthquakes and the theory of vibration table crack mechanical response model test for similar relation design. Find out the model of soil physical and mechanical parameters.

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

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...
