Evaluation of the seismic performance of isolated electrical transformers under pulse-like excitations [PDF]
Damage sustained by electrical transformers in past strong earthquakes led to irrecoverable and severe economic losses. The seismic performance evaluation is associated with the loss of proper functioning of transformers.

Improvement in the Seismic Performance of a Super-Long-Span Concrete-Filled Steel-Tube-Arch Bridge
The applicability of current seismic-performance-improvement technologies needs to be studied. This research took a super-long-span CFST arch bridge with a total length of 788 m as the object on which to perform a non-linear time-history analysis and a ...

Seismic Performance of Simple Slopes
ABSTRACT This paper is concerned with an extension of a rotational limit equilibrium method for determining the permanent displacements of slopes under seismic excitation. In the proposed procedure, the sliding mass is treated as a rigid rotating body defined by a log spiral trace.

Hilbert–Huang-Transform-Based Seismic Intensity Measures for Rocking Response Assessment
Structures that can uplift and rock under severe seismic excitations present remarkable stability without exhibiting damage. As such, rocking-response-based structural systems constitute a promising design practice.
