A Subbuteo‐Inspired Rolling Isolation System for Protecting Rigid Blocks

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates a Subbuteo‐inspired rolling isolation system (RIS) as an effective means for protecting rigid blocks. The block is assumed to be rigidly connected to a curved base sector, allowing it to roll back and forth freely under dynamic excitations. The intrinsic trait of the proposed isolation concept is that the rigid block is

Experimental Investigation of an Earthquake‐Resistant Steel Bridge Substructure System

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The grouted shear stud connection has been experimentally shown to provide two‐column steel bridge bent systems with seismic resistance. It achieves this by relocating the plastic hinging to the column section, thereby mobilizing the full strength and ductility of the steel columns.

Deep Learning‐Based Response Spectrum Analysis Method for Bridges Subjected to Bi‐Directional Ground Motions

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The response spectrum analysis method is one of the most widely used approaches developed to estimate the seismic demands of structural systems with minimal computational expense while maintaining high accuracy. The authors recently proposed a deep learning‐based combination (DC) rule to enhance the prediction accuracy of the response spectrum

A monolithic finite element formulation for the hydroelastic analysis of very large floating structures

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 124, Issue 3, Page 714-751, 15 February 2023., 2023
Abstract In this work we present a novel monolithic Finite Element method for the hydroelastic analysis of very large floating structures (VLFS) with arbitrary shapes that is stable, energy conserving, and overcomes the need of an iterative algorithm. The new formulation enables a fully monolithic solution of the linear free‐surface flow, described by ...

Evaluation of Seismic Acceleration Amplification Factors for Building Nonstructural Components Based on Coupled Analysis of Structure‐Nonstructural 2‐DOF System

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, seismic demand on nonstructural components (NSCs) was analyzed using a combined structural‐nonstructural 2‐degree‐of‐freedom (2‐DOF) model. This model was specifically employed to incorporate coupling effects, which arise from the dynamic interaction between supporting structures and NSCs. The effect of structure‐NSC coupling on

Risk‐Based Structural Seismic Response Assessment of Large‐Scale Jacket‐Supported Offshore Wind Turbines

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Offshore wind energy is growing as a major contributor to achieving the current targets of reaching net‐zero carbon emissions globally, offering a scalable, reliable, and cost‐competitive energy source. With the worldwide momentum of investing in wind energy infrastructure, offshore wind farms are now being constructed in seismically active ...
