Ground-Borne Vibration Due to Construction Works with Respect to Brownfield Areas

Applied Sciences, 2019
Ground-borne vibration caused by mechanized construction works is the most common problem in built-up areas in general. In post-industrial cities, there are many building facilities in the category of brownfields.

Load combinations in performance-based designing of earthquake-resisting structures

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Load combinations for seismic and other loads are considered. To this aim the equiprobable sets of loads with the corresponding probabilities are analyzed. The combination of motor-car and seismic loads is considered in details.

An Experimental Study on Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete under Different Strain Rates

Applied Sciences, 2018
Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) has a great advantage in earthquake-resistant structures, as compared with regular concrete. However, there are many difficulties in the construction and maintenance of concrete structures due to the high density and easy ...

Dynamic response of offshore wind turbine monopile foundations in layered soils under wind, wave and earthquake actions

Applied Ocean Research
Earthquakes occur frequently in China’s southeast coastal areas. Therefore, in this region, offshore wind turbine (OWT) structures are highly likely to be simultaneously affected by wind, waves and earthquakes. Firstly, based on the wave theory and Snell’

Influence of plastic strain on fatigue damage assessment for seismic load (Proposal Ks factor as an alternative to Ke factor)

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2021
In the fatigue damage assessments in component design, the elastic-plastic strain range is estimated from the elastic strain by using the so-called Ke factor. The Ke factor corresponds to the ratio of the strain range obtained by elastic analysis to that

CALCULATION OF SEISMICALLY LOADED EARTH RETAINING STRUCTURES

Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022
Eurocode 1998-5 for the design of earth retaining structures in seismic conditions describes calculations using the Mononobe-Okabe method. This simplified quasi-static procedure is to some extent very conservative. The article describes the limits of this method and brings out the comparison using theoretical numerical examples with other approaches ...
