Studies of earthquakes over the last 50 years and the examination of dynamic soil behavior
reveal that soil behavior is highly nonlinear and hysteretic even at small strains. Non-linear …

In this paper, a scalable end-to-end tree boosting system called XGBoost has been applied
for predicting the magnitude of an earthquake from the early part of earthquake waveform …

This paper proposes a promising seismic isolation method particularly suitable for
developing countries, which makes use of rubber–soil mixtures. Apart from reducing the …

Recent high-intensity earthquakes, such as those occurred in L'Aquila (2009), Christchurch
(2010–2011) and Emilia Romagna (2012), have caused not only a significant death toll and …

Previous earthquake events have shown that the vertical component of strong ground
motion has been proved to damage or totally destroy the structures. But in seismic resistant …

In this paper, a new three-directional vibration isolator for buildings was developed to
suppress vertical metro vibrations and horizontal seismic vibrations simultaneously. The …

This paper presents analytical assessment of the effect of vertical earthquake ground motion
on RC bridge piers. A bridge structure damaged during the Northridge Earthquake and a …

A continuous bridge in high-speed railway is close to several known faults in China. Those
faults, respectively at different distances from the bridge site, will produce different ground …

Offshore and land-based structures represent large capital investments. They are designed
to withstand various types of environmental loads such as earthquakes, winds, ocean …

This paper presents the numerical and experimental evaluation of a vertical‐rocking
isolation (VRI). This evaluation is done by 1‐D shaking table tests performed on a full‐scale …
