The primary motivation of this investigation is to develop the compound ground motion
intensity measure (IM) for the seismic performance assessment of aqueduct structures. To …

Identifying the optimal intensity measure (IM) contributes to reducing uncertainties in
probabilistic seismic demand models (PSDM) and enhancing confidence of their results …

The total creep model is independent of the loading stress path, and has no capability to
simulate the creep behavior under variable stress. During the dam filling process of earth …

Fractional calculus has been proven to be a powerful modeling tool for soil, which is often
used to develop the dilatancy equation in the model construction. However, the existing …

Multiple groups of triaxial shear tests and creep tests were performed on rockfill materials,
stress–strain, volume-strain, volumetric creep-time and axial creep-time curves were …

The intensity measure (IM) is a key factor in determining the accuracy of seismic
performance assessment, which can represent the power of ground motion. However, the …

The selection of representative ground motion intensity measure (IM) and structural
engineering demand parameter (EDP) is the crucial prerequisite for evaluating structural …

The Kahramanmaras earthquake sequence that occurred in Turkey on Feb. 6, 2023 caused
significant casualties and economic losses, which may relate to its distinct characteristics …

Seismic fragility assessments that predicts the exceedance probabilities of predefined limit
states of a structure subjected to earthquakes are widely used to reduce economic losses …

Assessing the fragility of intake towers using a single damage index does not allow for
accurate evaluation of the potential for structural damage under seismic conditions. In this …
