As the amplification of seismic force demands due to higher‐mode effects on tall buildings is
increasingly recognized as a design challenge, a number of high‐performance systems …

Abstract Small scale (∼ 1: 30–1: 40) Reinforced Concrete is useful for centrifuge testing.
However, manufacturing the reinforcing cages by hand at this scale is practically difficult …

In this paper, a computational approach based on numerical dissipation is proposed to
simulate rocking blocks. A rocking block is idealized as a solid body interacting with its …

To provide an insight for reliable seismic risk assessment of small building contents, the
rocking response of freestanding wooden blocks subjected to 11 bidirectional horizontal …

Under strong earthquakes, the shallow foundation bridge would experience partial or
temporary separation of foundation from the support, hereafter termed as uplift. The uplift …

This study aims to quantify the effect of the vertical component of ground motion on the
seismic response of sliding rigid blocks, in terms of maximum and residual displacements. A …

Compared to theoretical models, finite element methods provide greater versatility for
dynamic response analyses of rocking bridges, especially when considering the influences …

Since the Fukushima nuclear accident, seismic design requirements have increased,
necessitating a more refined evaluation of base uplift for weakly anchored nuclear island …

This paper presents the shake table testing and finite element (FE) modeling of a modular
prefabricated concrete bridge‐like specimen. The specimen comprised four equal‐height …

Recorded ground motions require filtering and baseline correction to remove noise that
results in unrealistic velocity and displacement time histories. The effect of ground motion …
