The stability of braced structures for the launch pit in pipe jacking plays a vital role in
structural safety during excavation and jacking drive. Through a deep launch pit in Foshan …

This work summarises recent research on the seismic behaviour of displacing or yielding
retaining structures, ie, structures that can undergo permanent displacements during strong …

Stability analysis of retaining walls in seismic areas is generally performed by calculating a
safety factor against a possible mechanism of collapse. However, considering that limit …

This paper presents a generalised Newmark method (GNM) incorporating a displacement
hardening mechanism for the prediction of permanent displacements accumulated by …

Under the action of an earthquake, a slope can dissipate energy by generating a certain
displacement. The critical permanent displacement in the state of limit equilibrium is the …

In recent years, the urgent need to increase the safety standards of viaducts and bridges—
under static and dynamic loading conditions—has required the development of advanced …

Changbai Mountain is an important part of the development and opening pilot area of
Changjitu. It is the birthplace of Songhua River, Yalu River, and Tumen River, and is known …

Pseudodynamic (PD) method is a novel method that has the merit of considering the
temporal and spatial effects of earthquake input in seismic stability analysis. Currently, most …

The seismic safety of hydroelectric power plants is of high concern in earthquake-prone
regions. Of specific interest to this paper is the seismic performance assessment of a critical …

This work presents seismic stability analysis of tunnel faces under three-dimensional (3D)
conditions. To consider the temporal and spatial features of seismic force, the pseudo …
