Seismic Behaviors on CFGRD

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2019
Abstract The goal structure is the concrete-faced grouted rockfill dam (CFGRD) in Zhoushan of China. Based on the properties non-linearity, the structural interaction and the seismic uncertainty, the dynamic non-linear constitutive model has been established in order to evaluate the seismic safety of the CFGRD as well as its interactive ...

Centrifuge modeling of rocking-isolated inelastic RC bridge piers [PDF]

, 2014
Experimental proof is provided of an unconventional seismic design concept, which is based on deliberately underdesigning shallow foundations to promote intense rocking oscillations and thereby to dramatically improve the seismic resilience of structures.

Seismic vulnerability maps of Timisoara historical center based on fragility curves [PDF]

, 2016
The seismic vulnerability assessment on a territorial scale requires the application of simplified procedures. Data collection is usually carried out by adopting external inspections; for this reason the knowledge gained for the considered buildings is ...

Plastic Joints in Bridge Columns of Atypical Cross-Sections with Smooth Reinforcement without Seismic Details

Applied Sciences, 2021
In seismically active areas, knowledge of the actual behavior of bridges under seismic load is extremely important, as they are crucial elements of the transport infrastructure.

Stress transfer and strain rate variations during the seismic cycle [PDF]

, 2004
The balance of forces implies stress transfers during the seismic cycle between the elastobrittle upper crust and the viscoelastic lower crust. This could induce observable time variations of crustal straining in the interseismic period.

Optimization of force-limiting seismic devices connecting structural subsystems [PDF]

, 2016
This paper is focused on the optimum design of an original force-limiting floor anchorage system for the seismic protection of reinforced concrete (RC) dual wall-frame buildings.

Seismic cycles, size of the largest events, and the avalanche size distribution in a model of seismicity [PDF]

, 2012
We address several questions on the behavior of a numerical model recently introduced to study seismic phenomena, that includes relaxation in the plates as a key ingredient.

Preliminary Results of Shake Table Tests of a Typical Museum Display Case Containing an Art Object

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2022
The seismic response of freestanding elements is typically extremely critical, and this is associated with a high seismic risk in the case of museum objects and artefacts.

Rupture by damage accumulation in rocks [PDF]

, 2006
The deformation of rocks is associated with microcracks nucleation and propagation, i.e. damage. The accumulation of damage and its spatial localization lead to the creation of a macroscale discontinuity, so-called "fault" in geological terms, and to the
