Unbonded prestressed reinforced concrete (UBPRC) column has attracted the attention of
many researchers in bridge seismic design because of its small residual displacement …

Studying the applicability of existing bridge and track systems of high-speed railway in near-
fault areas is crucial and urgent, because the current seismic design methods seldom …

Previous studies have highlighted the serious biases that may happen in probabilistic
structural fragility analysis (PSFA) due to the ignorance of the effect of pulse period under …

This study aims to develop an analytical framework to assess the seismic performance of
high-arch dams by considering the incident direction and input angle of near-fault (NF) …

The presence of long-period pulses in the near-fault pulse-type ground motions increases
the damage potential of such ground motions, particularly for the flexible structures like …

This article presents results of a statistical study focused on evaluating inelastic
displacement ratios (ie, ratio of maximum inelastic displacement with respect to maximum …

A fully coupled simplified method that incorporates soil nonlinearity is used to conduct
sliding-block analysis of slopes subjected to near-fault pulse-like and nonpulse-like ground …

This manuscript investigates the strength reduction factor of single degree of freedom
system with constant ductility performance subjected to the mainshock–aftershock sequence …

Fling‐step and forward directivity are the major consequences of near‐fault ground motions
as they can impose unexpected seismic demands on structures located in the vicinity of the …

Performance-based plastic design (PBPD) is a method which considers the inelastic
behavior of a structure for the seismic design that follows a pattern in which a pre-selected …
