Topography effects on the vertical vibration responses of pile group are revealed though numerical analysis and model tests. First, a series of model tests with different topography of gr...
Major damage has been reported in hilly areas after major earthquakes, primarily because of two special conditions: the variation in the seismic ground motion due to the inclined ground surface and t...
The column-to-beam flexural strength ratio(CBFSR) has been used in many seismic codes to achieve the strong column-weak beam(SCWB) failure mode in reinforced concrete(RC) frames, in which plastic hin...
