Offshore wind turbines can be built larger and lighter than they used to be due to the
application of new materials. These large and flexible structures are vulnerable to external …

High-rise and flexible offshore wind turbines (OWTs) are frequently constructed in high-
seismicity regions, and passive linear control strategies are commonly adopted to mitigate …

In the dynamic analyses of offshore wind turbines subjected to the external vibration
sources, the wind turbines are normally assumed in the parked condition and the blades are …

As key components in the transportation networks at coastal areas, sea-crossing cable-
stayed bridges play a very important role in the development of regional economy. These …

Despite the increasing popularity of modular buildings, there are relatively few published
case studies considering the overall structural responses to wind and earthquake load. As a …

Wind-induced fatigue damage is a predominant factor eventuating in structural performance
degradation of transmission towers exposed to long-term environmental wind. Moreover …

Buckling restrained braces (BRBs) are normally incorporated in the beam-column structures
to serve as energy dissipation members due to their stable hysteretic behavior. However, the …

Abstract Pipe-in-pipe (PIP) systems are increasingly used in subsea pipeline applications
due to their favourable thermal insulation capacity. Pipe-in-pipe systems consist of …

Seismic induced pounding damage to bridge structures was repeatedly observed in many
previous major earthquakes. To avoid this adverse effect, extensive research efforts have …

Past major earthquakes have witnessed extensive pile-supported transmission tower-line
systems (PSTLs) failing, which highlights the great susceptibility of PSTLs to damage from …
