Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Reinforced concrete pier walls designed before the 1970s often incorporate lap splice in potential plastic‐hinge regions. Previous experimental tests indicate that most of pier walls experienced post‐yield lap splice failure, necessitating a modeling approach that captures not only lap splice strength but also deformation capacity.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The rapid development of new railway networks and the aging of existing infrastructure in seismic‐prone regions continue to motivate the need for efficient methods to simulate the dynamic behavior of coupled train track structure systems. While detailed train–structure interaction (TSI) models can capture complex mechanisms, they are often too

Cyclic Behavior of Seismically Non-Conforming Interior Reinforced Concrete Beam–Column Joints
BuildingsThe cyclic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beam–column joints (BCJs) is still one of the critical issues in structural engineering. In this context, for the purpose of gaining a more in-depth insight about the sophisticated behavior of BCJs under ...

Covariance Structure Modeling of Engineering Demand Parameters in Cloud‐Based Seismic Analysis
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Probabilistic seismic demand modeling aims to estimate structural demand as a function of ground motion intensity—a critical stage in seismic risk assessment. Although many models exist to describe the structural demand, few consider the covariance among engineering demand parameters, potentially overlooking a key factor in improving the ...

Experimental Study on the Seismic Behavior of CFST Self-Centering Rocking Bridge Piers
BuildingsCompared to conventional reinforced concrete (RC) piers, self-centering rocking piers exhibit better seismic resilience and sustain minor damage. However, their construction typically relies on prefabrication.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study quantifies the influence of alkali‐silica reaction (ASR) on the seismic fragility of prestressed concrete containment structures in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Global collapse was considered as the governing failure mode to maintain consistency with current risk assessment frameworks, and was captured using a finite element model ...
