Three‐Dimensional Analytical Model of a Free‐Standing Square Rocking Column
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A three‐dimensional analytical two‐degree‐of‐freedom (2DOF) model is developed to describe the bounded rocking response of free‐standing rigid square columns subjected to bidirectional seismic excitation. The formulation extends Housner's classical planar theory by deriving the full three‐dimensional equations of motion for a column ...

Quantifying Model Selection Uncertainty in Structural Analysis: Methodology and Application
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With increasing focus on complex engineering systems under rare events, computational models are critical for predictions due to the scarcity or absence of data. However, selecting an appropriate model can be challenging. Using a single model without available test calibration could result in significant bias in performance predictions. A case

Vertical Seismic Effect on the Seismic Fragility of Large-Space Underground Structures
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2019 The measured vertical peak ground acceleration was larger than the horizontal peak ground acceleration. It is essential to consider the vertical seismic effect in seismic fragility evaluation of large-space underground structures.

Earthquake and Tsunami NaTech Risk Assessment for Oil Storage Facilities
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Interaction of natural and technological hazards (NaTech) events, such as tsunamis and earthquakes, can affect industrial facilities such as those featuring anchored atmospheric storage tanks. Consequences of natural events on this kind of installation may include the release of hazardous substances, which in turn can lead to industrial ...

Finite Element Modelling of Rocking and Hybrid Precast Walls under Seismic Loading
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In recent years, self‐centring systems have received considerable research interest in the seismic design of precast concrete structures for their ability to limit damage and satisfy resilience requirements. Rocking and hybrid structural walls, characterised by the formation of a single gap at the wall–foundation interface, mitigate damage by ...
