In the present study, the interaction mechanism of a 10-story moment-resisting building
frame sitting on the conventional piled raft foundation with a strike-slip fault rupture with a dip …

On 6 February 2023, two major earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş, occurring nine
hours apart, caused significant damage in eleven cities in the south and southeast of Turkey …

The purpose of the present work is to propose fragility curves of highway embankments
exposed to seismic fault ruptures. Three typical highway embankments with different …

Severe damages are likely to occur to the cross-fault embankment under seismicity due to
shear behavior caused by the fault relative displacement, which will inevitably affect the …

Although permanent ground movement can cause devasting damages to the infrastructures,
contributions assessing the effect of faulting on earth dams are limited with no notable …

Abstract The Sichuan-Tibet transportation corridor is prone to numerous active faults and
frequent strong earthquakes. While extensive studies have individually explored the effect of …

Seismic risk expresses the expected degree of damage and loss following a catastrophic
event. An efficient tool for assessing the seismic risk of embankments is fragility curves. This …

Active faults in the earthquake region are consistently regarded as a potential geological
hazard to the construction and operation of railway engineering. However, the effects of …

The construction of earth dams on active faults presents a risk of instability. The Ourkiss
dam, built 14 km south of the town of Ain Fakroun, is a heterogeneous type of dam made of …

There are few systematic studies on the risk probability assessment, although embankment
seismic damages are extremely serious. Meanwhile, retaining walls and other retaining …
