Estimating Arias Intensity From Response Spectrum

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arias intensity serves as a crucial metric to measure ground motion energy and is extensively utilized in earthquake engineering to analyze structural damage, slope instability, and the potential for soil liquefaction. Nevertheless, in many practical design scenarios, only the response spectrum is available, without corresponding information ...

Shaking Table Tests and Numerical Analysis of Rocking Vault‐Shaped Segmental Piers Equipped With an Annular Double Sliding System

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To enhance the structural robustness of bridges, a rocking arch‐shaped segmental pier with a double sliding system was previously proposed as a low‐cost solution to protect bridges in developing countries. The rocking behavior is triggered by halting the sliding motion, which increases the horizontal load‐bearing capacity and limits ...

Earthquake Early Warning and Beyond: Systems Challenges in Smartphone-based Seismic Network

open access: yes, 2019
Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) systems can effectively reduce fatalities, injuries, and damages caused by earthquakes. Current EEW systems are mostly based on traditional seismic and geodetic networks, and exist only in a few countries due to the high ...
