Reducing Seismic and Traffic Loads Using Seismic Isolating Systems
Transportation 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.

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

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 ...

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

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

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

Comparison of wind turbine tower failure modes under seismic and wind loads [PDF]
, 2019 This paper studies the structural responses and failure modes of a 1.5-MW horizontal-axis wind turbine under strong ground motions and wind loading. Ground motions were selected and scaled to match the two design response spectra given by the seismic ...
