This study investigates the nonlinear seismic responses of a long-span suspension bridge
crossing strike-slip faults and their sensitivity to various parameters and conditions. Four sets …

Abstract The strong 1980 M6. 81 Irpinia earthquake in Southern Italy critically damaged the
Pavoncelli hydraulic tunnel. Based on geological, petrophysical and geomechanical …

The local topography hugely impacts the characteristic of earthquake ground motion, further
affecting the seismic response of the train-bridge coupled system. Based on the theory of …

In this study, a fast multipole indirect boundary element method (FM-IBEM) was used to
efficiently simulate broadband ground motions of complex sites near faults. The spatial …

Topographic effect had an obvious influence on the ground motion, but the related
regulations were vague in Chinese seismic code. Therefore, this paper explored the …

The topographic amplification effect has significant impacts on structural safety since it
causes inconsistencies in seismic response. Previous studies on topographical influence …

Arch dams are typically built in the mountain and gorge regions with complex terrain. In the
current engineering practice, foundation models are commonly simplified as the half-space …

The performance of a large number of critical infrastructure systems needs to be periodically
re-evaluated. This is especially so when such systems are located in seismic areas and are …

This paper adopts the fluid–structure coupling algorithm based on the acoustic fluid element,
the fluid dynamic artificial boundary, and the consistent viscoelastic artificial boundary of …

The topic of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) can be considered midway between
geotechnical and structural engineering. Historically, geotechnical engineers were primarily …
