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

open access: yesApplied 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 ...

Bed load sediment transport inferred from seismic signals near a river

open access: yes, 2016
We examine broadband (5–480 Hz) seismic data from the Erlenbach stream in the Swiss Prealps, where discharge, precipitation, and bed load transport are independently constrained.

Experimental study on dynamic behavior analysis of coal and its acoustic emission response characteristics under impact failure

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on acoustic emission response characteristics, it can be more accurate to identify the damage evolution process of coal under the combined dynamic and static loads, reveal the moment corresponding to coal damage, and identify the characteristics of coal failure. The research results are conducive to the further use of acoustic emission monitoring

Experimental assessment and retrofit of full-scale models of existing RC frames [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
PSD tests on two full-scale models of existing non-seismic resisting RC frame structures are described. The testing program covered several aspects, namely assessment of seismic performance of existing frames without and with infill panels ...

Form and load transfer aspects of foundation systems: Case‐based implementation and adaptation for buildings

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Upon conceptualization of structural behavior, foundations in terms of their form are divided into linear (1D), planar (2D), and volumetric (3D). Regarding the load transfer mechanisms, linear foundation systems are considered vector‐acting, planar foundations are divided into section and surface‐acting, and volumetric ones are recognized as block ...

Slope stability analysis under seismic load by vector sum analysis method

open access: yes, 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 ...
