Seismic reliability assessment of classical columns subjected to near-fault ground motions [PDF]

, 2013
A methodology for the performance-based seismic risk assessment of classical columns is presented. Despite their apparent instability, classical columns are, in general, earthquake resistant, as proven from the fact that many classical monuments have ...

Collapse risk and residual drift performance of steel buildings using post-tensioned MRFs and viscous dampers in near-fault regions [PDF]

, 2016
The potential of post-tensioned self-centering moment-resisting frames (SC-MRFs) and viscous dampers to reduce the collapse risk and improve the residual drift performance of steel buildings in near-fault regions is evaluated.

Synthesis of Near-fault Ground Motion Using a Hybrid Method of Stochastic and Theoretical Green’s Functions

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2016
The effect of near-fault ground displacement is a significant factor when structures straddle a fault, because the fault produces both static step-like deformations and dynamic pulse-like ground motions. It has been observed that the static displacements

The Alto Tiberina Near Fault Observatory (northern Apennines, Italy)

Annals of Geophysics, 2014
The availability of multidisciplinary and high-resolution data is a fundamental requirement to understand the physics of earthquakes and faulting. We present the Alto Tiberina Near Fault Observatory (TABOO), a research infrastructure devoted to studying preparatory processes, slow and fast deformation along a fault system located in the upper Tiber ...

Modeling afterslip and aftershocks following the 1992 Landers earthquake [PDF]

, 2007
One way to probe the rheology of the lithosphere and fault zones is to analyze the temporal evolution of deformation following a large earthquake. In such a case, the lithosphere responds to a known stress change that can be assessed from earthquake slip

An isolation device for near-fault ground motions

Structural Control and Health Monitoring, 2013
Seismic isolation is an appreciable control strategy that reduces the vibrations of structural and nonstructural systems induced by strong ground motions. However, under near-fault (NF) ground motion, the seismic isolation devices might perform poorly because of large isolator displacements caused by long-period large velocity and displacement pulses ...

Case Study of the Characteristics and Mechanism of Rock Burst near Fault in Yima Coalfield, China

Shock and Vibration, 2021
Deep mining near faults may easily cause rock bursts, which seriously threaten mining safety. Based on the engineering background of deep mining near fault in Yima coalfield, by collecting the rock burst events that happened near fault during deep mining,
