This study tries to highlight the importance of considering the influence of pinching-
degrading in cyclic behavior to show the destructive effects of the duration on ductility (µ m) …

Near field ground motions trigger higher damage to the structures due to the presence of
distinct velocity pulses which are absent in far field ground motions. The present study deals …

In China, the current seismic codes specify a single earthquake event as the design seismic
load for concrete gravity dams. However, a large mainshock usually triggers numerous …

In the present investigation, the seismic fragility analysis of the Koyna dam-reservoir-layered
rock foundation system is performed, considering foundation flexibility. For material non …

Various duration definitions have been proposed to describe the effective strong motion
duration based on a single component of ground motions. However, multi-component …

The present paper investigates the effect of earthquake frequency content and foundation
flexibility on the performance of the Koyna dam-foundation-reservoir system. Ground …

Irregularly designed structures frequently experience greater damage compared to regular
buildings as a result of elevated torsional reactions and stress concentration, as indicated by …

This study evaluates the optimal intensity measures (IMs) for the seismic fragility analysis of
dam-reservoir-layered foundation (DRLF) system. Probabilistic seismic demand models …

Amplitude, frequency content and duration are the three main features of earthquake ground
motions. The first two features have been fully considered in the seismic design of high …

For the assessment of seismic performance of concrete gravity dams, ground motions with
horizontal and vertical components are usually selected as seismic excitations. Although …
