The seismic ductility spectra (SDS) method is a crucial tool to quickly evaluate the ductility
demand of bridge columns with varied constitutive models. However, conventional SDS …

Unbonded prestressed reinforced concrete (UBPRC) column has attracted the attention of
many researchers in bridge seismic design because of its small residual displacement …

Previous studies have highlighted the serious biases that may happen in probabilistic
structural fragility analysis (PSFA) due to the ignorance of the effect of pulse period under …

The increasing number of wind turbines in active tectonic regions has attracted scientific
interest to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of offshore wind turbines (OWTs). This study …

Concave surface sliders (CSSs) are considered as an effective solution for retrofitting
adjacent buildings irregular in plan that could undergo significant seismic pounding due to …

This study aims to develop an analytical framework to assess the seismic performance of
high-arch dams by considering the incident direction and input angle of near-fault (NF) …

Forward-directivity and fling-step effects of fault rupture generally cause large amplitude and
long-period velocity pulses in near-fault ground motions, which impose severe damages on …

Multi-pulse characteristics of near-fault ground motions, such as the number of inherent
pulses, pulse periods, and amplitudes, have notable influences on the response of …

Liquefaction-induced flow slide is one of the main reasons to cause severe damage of
embankment dams. In this paper, the effect of near-fault pulse-like ground motions on the …

In soil‐structure interaction modeling of systems subjected to earthquake motions, it is
classically assumed that the incoming wave field, produced by an earthquake, is …
