A novel approach for nonlinear stochastic dynamic analysis is proposed and illustrated with
nonlinear building structures subjected to mainshock–aftershock sequences. First, a …

This paper presents a novel approach for modeling the tensile failure of quasi-brittle
materials by incorporating a multivariate random field to represent material parameters in …

Earthquakes usually consist of a mainshock and a series of aftershocks, both of which are
random. The mainshock can damage structures, and the subsequent aftershocks may cause …

To eliminate the limitations of the deterministic analysis approach currently used for seismic
safety evaluation of dams, this paper introduces a novel framework for analyzing the safety …

An unreinforced masonry (URM) structure damaged by a strong earthquake may be
threatened by subsequent aftershocks in an unrepaired state. However, there is no …

The present study focuses on investigating the effects of soil rotated anisotropy and spatial
variability on slope failure in seismic conditions. The random finite element method aided by …

Aftershocks have the potential to further aggravate the damage of masonry structures
caused by mainshock. To quantitatively analyze the effect of aftershocks, this paper …

A method for the probabilistic analysis and reliability evaluation of retaining walls is
presented in this paper. This paper examines the stochastic dynamic response of the rigid …

Seismic resilience of critical infrastructure, such as nuclear power plants, is paramount in
ensuring nuclear safety. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the seismic …

Strong mainshocks are typically accompanied by numerous aftershocks, and the
investigation of the structural failure mechanisms under the mainshock-aftershock sequence …
