Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Seismic waves with tensile stress, high amplitude, and low frequency are most likely to trigger block instability and sliding. Blocks with a single sliding surface are more prone to movement than those with multiple constraints, and roof‐positioned blocks are especially vulnerable to slide.

Vulnerability of structures from the aspect of seismic safety and risk in architectonic designing [PDF]
Facta Universitatis. Series: Architecture and Civil Engineering, 2013 It is natural the people should be most interested in the behavior of buildings during earthquakes, as they spend the most of their time in them. The times when the buildings were designed and constructed for unknown customers have passed.

Seismic behavior of chilean bridges with seismic protection devices [PDF]
Revista de la construcción, 2015 Several bridges with seismic protection systems have been built in the last decade inChile. Accelerometer networks have been installed in some of them. Seismic records have been obtained by these instruments for moderate and severe earthquakes. In this paper, records registered atMargaMargaBridge,AmolanasBridgeand Metro Viaduct are analyzed, and ...

Influence of seismic events on shallow geotechnical structures [PDF]
, 2017 This paper deals with a summary of possible seismic loading of shallow geotechnical structures. It is known that seismic loading influences the underground structures much less than the structures on the surface, therefore, it is not usually taken into ...
