Turbulencelike Behavior of Seismic Time Series
Physical Review Letters, 2009 We report on a novel stochastic analysis of seismic time series for the Earth's vertical velocity, by using methods originally developed for complex hierarchical systems, and in particular for turbulent flows. Analysis of the fluctuations of the detrended increments of the series reveals a pronounced change of the shapes of the probability density ...

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.

Depth-varying rupture properties of subduction zone megathrust faults [PDF]
, 2012 Subduction zone plate boundary megathrust faults accommodate relative plate motions with spatially varying sliding behavior. The 2004 Sumatra-Andaman (M_w 9.2), 2010 Chile (Mw 8.8), and 2011 Tohoku (M_w 9.0) great earthquakes had similar depth variations

Numerical treatment of seismic accelerograms and of inelastic seismic structural responses using harmonic wavelets [PDF]
, 2007 The harmonic wavelet transform is employed to analyze various kinds of nonstationary signals common in aseismic design. The effectiveness of the harmonic wavelets for capturing the temporal evolution of the frequency content of strong ground motions is ...
