Abstract Design of earth structures, such as dams, tunnels, and embankments, against the vibrational loading caused by high‐speed trains, road traffic, underground explosions, and, more importantly, earthquake motion, demands solutions of the dynamic soil–structure Interaction (SSI) problem.

Comparing observed damages and losses with modelled ones using a probabilistic approach: the Lorca 2011 case [PDF]
A loss and damage assessment was performed for the buildings of Lorca, Spain, considering an earthquake hazard scenario with similar characteristics to those of a real event which occurred on May 11th, 2011, in terms of epicentre, depth and magnitude ...

One‐dimensional (1D) site response analysis (SRA), which considers vertically propagating seismic waves from the bedrock to the surface, has been a common technique among geotechnical engineers to examine site‐specific ground shaking. However, observations from past earthquakes and analytical studies indicate that idealizations ingrained in 1D SRA may ...

Generating damping modification factors after artificial inputs in scenarios of local records scarcity [PDF]
The damping modification factors are utilized to alter the design spectral ordinates for constructions whose damping differs significantly from 5%, this being the level that is routinely considered by most codes.

State‐of‐the‐Art Seismic Studies of Loess Tunnels in China
Large earthquakes occur frequently around the world. Due to the fragility of loess, the effects of seismic events on loess tunnel projects have received considerable in‐depth research attention. In this paper, we systematically review recent seismic research on loess tunnels and highlight deficiencies that require further study with a focus on the ...
