Borehole seismic methods for opencast coal exploration [PDF]
, 1990 Surface seismic techniques lack the resolution to image the top 100m or so of the earth's surface necessary for opencast coal exploration. The work reported in this thesis is the development of borehole seismic methods making use of the closely spaced ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.A staged three‐dimensional nonlinear soil–structure interaction (SSI) model is established, in which the initial geostress state, tunnel excavation, lining installation, delayed activation of the internal frame, and subsequent surcharge loading are simulated sequentially.

Nationwide Earthquake Risk Model for Wood-Frame Houses in Canada
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2019 Quantitative seismic risk assessments involve hazard characterization, exposure database, vulnerability assessment, and uncertainty modeling, and promote consistent risk management actions, when conducted systematically across a country.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rocking podium isolation systems have gained significant research interest as a method of limiting seismic demands on superstructures and eliminating residual post‐earthquake drifts through self‐centring behaviour. However, while numerous models of varying complexity, including analytical, phenomenological, and physical formulations, have been

Performance-Based approach in seismic design of embedded retaining walls [PDF]
, 2008 The increasing use of the underground spaces and the last seismic events in the urban areas have driven many researchers of different countries to deepen the knowledge on the dynamic behaviour of the structure embedded in the subsoil.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Steel Concentrically Braced Frames (CBFs) are widely used in seismic regions, with chevron and split‐X configurations commonly adopted for their structural efficiency and architectural flexibility. Although extensive research has been carried out on these systems, the effectiveness of the formulations available in the literature for estimating

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Considering the needs for reducing carbon emissions and except for extreme cases of very degraded existing structures, research on technologies allowing continued use or upgrading of older buildings has become a priority topic. Generally, research on upgrading of reinforced concrete frame structures certainly has a prominent role, because of ...
