Girder Load Distribution for Seismic Design of Integral Bridges

open access: yesJournal of Bridge Engineering, 2015
Current seismic design practice related to integral bridge girder-to-cap beam connections allows little or no lateral seismic load to be distributed beyond the girders immediately adjacent to the column.

Foundations for Seismic Loads

Dynamic Response and Soil Properties, 2007
Design of foundations in earthquake prone areas needs special considerations. Shallow foundations may experience a reduction in bearing capacity and increase in settlement and tilt due to seismic loading. The reduction in bearing capacity depends on the nature and type of soil and ground acceleration parameters.

Slope stability analysis under seismic load by vector sum analysis method

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2011
The vibration characteristics and dynamic responses of rock and soil under seismic load can be estimated with dynamic finite element method (DFEM). Combining with the DFEM, the vector sum analysis method (VSAM) is employed in seismic stability analysis ...

Seismic Microzonation for Refinement of Seismic Load Parameters

Power Technology and Engineering, 2016
Functional dependencies are established for the characteristics of seismic transients recorded at various points of a studied site, which are used to propose a new approach to seismic microzonation (SMZ) that enables the creation of new SMZ maps of strong seismic motion, with due regard for dynamic parameters of recorded transients during weak ...

Seismic assessment of RC column under seismic loads

International Journal of Structural Integrity, 2019
PurposeAs it is widely known, corrosion is a major deterioration factor for structures which are located on coastal areas. Corrosion has a great impact on both the durability and seismic performance of reinforced concrete structures. In the present study, two identical reinforced concrete columns were constructed and mechanical tests were organized to ...

Design of Columns for Seismic Loads

Journal of the Structural Division, 1973
An analytical solution for the column safety problem is presented herein with earthquake engineering applications. The probabilities of failure are computed for 25 columns subjected to design loads as well as certain earthquake excitations. Results indicate that the vertical earthquake excitation of earthquake motions should not be ignored in the ...

Seismic loading

European Journal of Environmental and Civil Engineering, 2011
This paper presents the main ground motion parameters which are used in earthquake engineering to characterize the seismic loading, as well as the key phyisclal phenomena that control their value and their variability. A first section shortly outlines the principles of strong motion measurement and the main networks and databases.

On Loads Acting on a Structure with a Seismic Damper

International Applied Mechanics, 2001
In the paper it is established that the phase spectrum of perturbation at seismic event effects essentially the inertial loading of constructions. In the author's opinion this may be the reason for the failure of constructions at an earthquake.

Seismic loading for buildings with setbacks

Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 1994
Dynamic analysis is in general accepted as the best method to obtain the seismic load distribution for buildings with a setback. However, most building codes require the base shear obtained by dynamic analysis to be calibrated by the static base shear obtained using the code's equivalent static load procedure.
