Optimum Lateral Load Distribution for Seismic Design of Nonlinear Shear-Buildings Considering Soil-Structure Interaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The lateral load distributions specified by seismic design provisions are primarily based on elastic behaviour of fixed-base structures without considering the effects of soil-structure-interaction (SSI).

Investigation on the failure evolution characteristics of surrounding rock in deep cross‐fault roadway: Based on physical model test and numerical simulation

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study reveals the failure evolution characteristics of deep cross‐fault roadway surrounding rock under excavation support and periodic weighting. Periodic weighting readily induces fault activation, with the spatial distribution of failed rock masses being controlled by the fault strike and dip.

Earthquakes of the Nepal Himalaya : Towards a Physical Model of the Seismic Cycle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Home to hundreds of millions of souls and land of excessiveness, the Himalaya is also the locus of a unique seismicity whose scope and peculiarities still remain to this day somewhat mysterious.

The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Study Based on Bridge Health Monitoring System on Multihazard Load Combinations of Earthquake and Truck Loads for Bridge Design in the Southeast Coastal Areas of China

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2015
Similar to American LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, the current Chinese bridge design code is fully calibrated against gravity load and live load. Earthquake load is generally considered alone and has its own methodology, however, which is not covered

The microstructure of sediment-hosted hydrates: evidence from effective medium modelling of laboratory and borehole seismic data

open access: yes, 2009
Much of our knowledge of hydrate distribution in the subsurface comes frominterpretations of remote seismic measurements. A key step in such interpretations isan effective medium theory that relates the seismic properties of a given sediment toits ...

Investigating Uncertainty in Seismic Design Maps Based on Hazard and Fragility Curves [PDF]

open access: yesپژوهش‌های زیرساخت‌های عمرانی
All engineering measurements carry inherent uncertainty, whether acknowledged or not. If we add a type of risk metric as well as uncertainty quantification in the procedure of establishing the seismic design load applied to the structures, we will have a
