Rectangular reinforced concrete tank loaded by seismic load [PDF]
Tanks have currently been used for storage of different substances and products. Most often they serve as reservoirs for drinking water, for wastewater treatment and storage of various technical liquids. Rectangular tanks are less common, still there are many benefits of their using, e.g.

Modelling strong seismic ground motion: three-dimensional loading path versus wavefield polarization [PDF]
Seismic waves due to strong earthquakes propagating in surficial soil layers may both reduce soil stiffness and increase the energy dissipation into the soil.

Shear critical R/C columns under increasing axial load [PDF]
Structural elements in old reinforced concrete (R/C) frame buildings are often prone to shear or flexure-shear failure, which can eventually lead to loss of axial load capacity of vertical elements and initiate vertical progressive collapse of a building.

Investigation of concrete material models for analysis of seismic behavior of reinforced concrete under reversed cyclic load [PDF]
Several concrete material models with unique theoretical backgrounds are available in different finite element analysis (FEA) software packages such as ABAQUAS, ATENA, DIANA, and LS-DYNA.

Stress transfer and strain rate variations during the seismic cycle [PDF]
The balance of forces implies stress transfers during the seismic cycle between the elastobrittle upper crust and the viscoelastic lower crust. This could induce observable time variations of crustal straining in the interseismic period.

Influence of Seismic Loading on Segment Opening of a Shield Tunnel
The influence of seismic loading on segment opening of a shield tunnel was explored using the dynamic finite element method to analyze the distribution of segment opening under multidirectional seismic loading, combined with a typical engineering ...

The physics of earthquakes [PDF]
Earthquakes occur as a result of global plate motion. However, this simple picture is far from complete. Some plate boundaries glide past each other smoothly, while others are punctuated by catastrophic failures.

Seismic cycles, size of the largest events, and the avalanche size distribution in a model of seismicity [PDF]
We address several questions on the behavior of a numerical model recently introduced to study seismic phenomena, that includes relaxation in the plates as a key ingredient.
