Current seismic codes propose designing all new buildings in isolation from their
neighbours. As a result, all modified seismic risks associated with interbuilding dynamic …

Abstract In this study, Material Point Method (MPM) is improved to simulate coseismic slope
stability and liquefaction-induced embankment failure under earthquake loading. First, by …

A multiscale framework is developed based on the spectral element method (SEM) and
material point method (MPM) for the large-deformation analysis of coseismic landslides. At a …

Physics-based numerical simulations (PBS) have progressed to the level of providing a
realistic description of earthquake ground motion and of its variability, both in time and …

A large‐scale physics‐based simulation is conducted to investigate ground motion
distribution in the Mw 7.0 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, Japan. The model simulates the …

Compressive Sensing (CS) provides a solution for modal analysis with fewer/compressed
measurements. However, operational modal analysis by using compressed measurements …

This paper describes a framework for regional scale coseismic landslide evaluation that
combines physics-based wave propagation simulation at a regional scale, with flexible …

With the rapid advancement of urbanization in recent decades, a large number of surface
dense buildings have appeared. Soil-structure cluster interaction (SSCI) has attracted …

Tall buildings can affect the seismic safety of shorter buildings in their vicinities. Majority of
the studies have investigated such influences by analyzing the structure-soil-structure …

Recently, the concept of ground motions within dense urban areas being significantly
affected by upper building clusters has been widely accepted. However, multiple …
