Seismic demand estimation of electrical cabinet in nuclear power plant considering equipment-anchor-interaction

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2022
This paper investigates the seismic behavior of an electrical cabinet considering the influence of equipment-anchor-interaction (EAI) that is generally not taken into consideration in a decoupled analysis.

Seismic anisotropy in siliciclastic reservoir rocks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The interpretation of geophysical field measurements of seismic anisotropy is presently limited by our knowledge of the controls of the elastic anisotropy of sedimentary rocks in the subsurface. Traditionally, laboratory ultrasonic velocity measurements

Development of nonlinear analytical model and seismic analyses of a steel frame with self-centering devices and viscoelastic dampers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This paper highlights the role of advanced structural analysis tools on the conception of high-performance earthquake-resistant structural systems. A new steel frame equipped with self-centering devices and viscoelastic dampers is described.

Geotechnical design with apparent seismic safety factors well-bellow 1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The paper demonstrates that whereas often in seismic geotechnical design it is not realistically feasible to design with ample factor of safety against failure as is done in static design, an "engineering" apparent seismic factor of safety less than 1 ...

Regional Seismic Wavefield Propagation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Through the examination of local and regional seismic waveform data the crust and upper mantle of southern California are investigated. Using local and regional seismic phases such as Pn, Sn, PL, and surface waves, seismic wave velocities of interesting

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

open access: yes, 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.

Hysteretic Characteristics of Wood-Frame Structures Under Seismic Motions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In order to develop seismic codes that can effectively mitigate damage to wood-frame construction under seismic activity, the dynamic characteristics of wood-frame buildings must be well understood.

Performance-Based approach in seismic design of embedded retaining walls [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The increasing use of the underground spaces and the last seismic events in the urban areas have driven many researchers of different countries to deepen the knowledge on the dynamic behaviour of the structure embedded in the subsoil.

Swedish National Seismic Network

open access: yes, 1904
The Swedish National Seismic Network (SNSN) started with the installation of a Wiechert seismograph in Uppsala in 1904. Since 1998 the SNSN is a part of the Department of Earth Sciences at Uppsala University.
