Comparative Analysis of Single Pile with Embedded Beam Row and Volume Pile Modeling under Seismic Load

open access: yesStudia Geotechnica et Mechanica, 2023
Indonesia is located between the Eurasian, Pacific, Philippines, and Indo-Australian plates. Various tectonic processes in the world and collisions between large plates and several small plates trigger many earthquakes in Indonesia.

Load and resistance factor design approach for seismic buckling of fast reactor vessels

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal, 2017
Seismic buckling of vessels is one of the main concerns for the design of nuclear power plants in Japan. Rational design is important, especially for fast reactor plants.

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.

Fluid - Structure - Soil Interaction of Cylindrical Liquid Storage Tank Subjected to Horizontal Earthquake Loading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Shallow founded tanks are strategic structures used to store a variety of kind of liquids. The fluid develops hydrodynamic effect on solid domain of container during an earthquake. This paper provides the theoretical background for numerical model on

Sedimentological distinction in glacigenic sediments between load casts induced by periglacial processes from those induced by seismic shocks

open access: yes, 2020
Loading processes and the resulting load structures induced by processes related to periglacial conditions are compared to those induced by seismic shocks.

Reducing Seismic and Traffic Loads Using Seismic Isolating Systems

open access: yesTransportation Research Procedia, 2021
Abstract To reduce the effect of dynamic traffic and seismic loads, it is proposed to use a seismic insulating support, the contact surfaces of which are pasted over with a fluoroplastic film. The dry friction coefficient for a fluoroplastic pair is 0.03-0.05.

Seismic performance analysis of a wind turbine with a monopile foundation affected by sea ice based on a simple numerical method

open access: yesEngineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics, 2021
To investigate the seismic performance of a wind turbine that is influenced by both the ice load and the seismic load, the research proposes a numerical approach for simulating the seismic behavior of a wind turbine on a monopile foundation.

Dynamic Response Simulation of Lining Structure for Tunnel Portal Section under Seismic Load

open access: yes, 2018
Portal section is the weak link of seismic fortification for tunnel structure. Assuming that seismic wave is the vertical incident elastic plane wave, the plane wave input method for the portal section was discussed in this paper; that is, the wave input

Seismometer Detection of Dust Devil Vortices by Ground Tilt [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We report seismic signals on a desert playa caused by convective vortices and dust devils. The long-period (10-100s) signatures, with tilts of ~10$^{-7}$ radians, are correlated with the presence of vortices, detected with nearby sensors as sharp ...
