A numerical investigation of the seismic behaviour of asymmetrical low-rise reinforced
concrete (R/C) frames is performed considering the deformability of the supporting soil. The …

In historical earthquakes, fault ruptures have caused significant ground deformation and
infrastructure damage. Because the occurrences of earthquakes are hard to predict, it is …

Recent earthquakes leading to the emergence of surface fault rupture (SFR) on the ground
surface have indicated disastrous damage to buildings. As avoidance is not always …

Evidence from recent earthquakes has shown destructive consequences of fault-induced
permanent ground movement on structures. Such observations have increased the demand …

Abstract The Mw 6.4 and 6.8 Guanshan-Chihshang earthquakes occurred on 17 and 18
September 2022 resulted in prominent surface ruptures within the Longitudinal Valley in …

Active faults in the earthquake region are consistently regarded as a potential geological
hazard to the construction and operation of railway engineering. However, the effects of …

Scouring of piled foundations is a persistent hazard in bridge foundation design. The
specific effect that scouring has on the stiffness and strength of such foundations is a source …

The discrete element method (DEM) is widely used in the fields of structural geology and
tectonophysics to simulate the formation of fault-induced geologic features. With few …
