The damage and failure mechanism of prestatically loaded rock during medium‐strain rate cyclic impact loading

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on experimental results and theoretical analysis, an established rock damage accumulation model that comprehensively considers the preapplied static load, impact peak value, impact frequency, and impact times. Abstract To study the rock damage mechanism under high static loading and superimposed medium strain rate cyclic impact loading, a series ...

Dissipative behaviour of reinforced-earth retaining structures under severe ground motion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This paper focuses on the seismic performance of geosynthetic-reinforced retaining walls (GRWs) that several evidences have shown to be generally adequate.

Exploring wave propagation behaviors in rock: A grain‐based perspective on mineral structures

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study investigates wave propagation in rock at the grain scale using a grain‐based model, revealing that mineral elastic modulus significantly influences wave attenuation while grain size and distribution have limited effects. A novel peak particle velocity attenuation prediction model is proposed and validated for grain‐scale wave propagation ...

An optimizing microseismic method for rock burst early warning based on mining production process

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A classification early warning method of rock burst based on hourly microseismic data is proposed, which can be combined with the on‐site production process to provide more timely warning. Abstract Microseismic (MS) events have been reported in nearly every coal mining country, which could well lead to rock burst in underground coal mines.

Experimental Characterization of a Full‐Scale Stair System Detailed to Achieve Seismic Resiliency

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stair systems are the primary means of egress in and out of a building during and after an earthquake. Therefore, it is essential to detail these critical nonstructural systems such that they remain operable during and after an earthquake of moderate to high levels of intensity.

Designing of a new seismic base isolation system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The design of a new base isolation system is proposed in this research with the objective that the system does not transmit any force to the structure under horizontal loading. The structure must remain operational and steady.

Seismic Testing and Performance Evaluation of Unitized Curtain Walls

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Unitized curtain walls are widely adopted in contemporary architecture for their lightweight construction, aesthetic qualities, ease of installation and high operational performance. They are particularly used in high‐rise buildings, where glazed facades are designed to meet a broad range of performance criteria.
