In conventional seismic design, the structure is often assumed to be fixed at the base.
However, this assumption does not reflect reality. Furthermore, if the structure has close …

Shield tunnels are widely used throughout the world. However, their seismic performance
has not been well studied. This paper focuses on the seismic response of a large scale …

Multiply-supported Non-Structural Components (NSCs) attached across different floors of a
primary structure, eg building façades, advertisement boards, fire escapes, are particularly …

Seismic design of storage tanks has been less developed in past decades in comparison to
building or bridge design. The main reason is the complexity due to a number of significant …

This study investigates the uplift load response of reinforced soil structures utilizing dual
plate configurations under varying conditions. By employing experimental setups and …

This paper describes the construction of a laminar box for simulating the earthquake
response of soil and structures. The confinement of soil in the transverse direction does not …

In current seismic design, little attention is given to the flexibility of the supporting soil. For
simplicity, a rigid support condition is commonly assumed. However, in reality, structures are …
