A series of large-scale shaking table tests on a typical subway station structure were carried
out for pulse-like earthquake motions. The propagation of earthquake motions in soils is …

Seismic design practices and seismic response analyses of civil structures and nuclear
power plants (NPPs) have conventionally used the peak ground acceleration (PGA) or …

This paper investigates the pulse-like and directionality effects of near-fault horizontal
ground-motion records on the seismic performance of high arch dams. A 3-dimensional arch …

A moderate earthquake ground motion with moment magnitude (Mw) 6.4 took place in the
North-Western area of Iran on August 11, 2012, which was followed by an aftershock (Mw …

Pulse‐like ground motions, which are mainly concentrated in near‐fault regions, can induce
severe damage on structures. This article presents a simple and effective method used for …

In this article, a modified direct method is presented for estimating the seismic response of
structures equipped with nonlinear viscous dampers subjected to near-fault pulse-like …

Previous studies on the inelastic displacement ratio mainly focused on the structures with
conventional hysteretic models. For the self-centering structure, a flag-shaped (FS) …

In order to investigate the vibration characteristics and propagation mechanism of ground
vibrations induced by high‐speed train passing through the viaduct, a field experiment is …

The ground motion pulse-like effect depends on its orientation, it is thus necessary to identify
the direction of the ground motion with the strongest pulse. A simple yet efficient method to …

This study develops a straightforward approximate method to estimate inelastic
displacement ratio, C 1 for base‐isolated structures subjected to near‐fault and far‐fault …
