Seismic-induced bridge poundings have been observed in almost all of the previous major
earthquakes. Poundings can occur along both the longitudinal and transversal directions of …

The paper studies the performance of Offshore Wind Turbines (OWTs) founded on Suction
Bucket Jackets (SBJs) in clay under combined wind and seismic loading. A detailed 3D FE …

Abstract Intensity Measures (IMs) provide the relationship between Engineering Demand
Parameters (EDPs) and seismic hazard characteristics for different structures and hence …

The pounding between shear keys and bearing padstones has been identified as one of
critical factors affecting transverse seismic responses of bridges. It is inevitable since the role …

This paper presents a deterministic analysis carried out to study the influence of coupled
vertical and horizontal ground motions on the response of an isolated bridge (or soil-pile …

Modernization of motorway infrastructure often involves widening of existing bridges which
need to be retrofitted to sustain the increased loads. Whereas pier retrofit is relatively …

The objective of this study is to explore the seismic fragility of reinforced concrete bridges,
specifically in response to the vertical components of ground motions, utilizing fragility …

In the event of a strong earthquake, the motorway administrator will likely have to interrupt
network operations to inspect potentially damaged bridges. Although continuing operation …

Earthquake–induced deformations constitute the primary component of seismic performance
of slopes, and their proper estimation is the key to performance–based design. Deformations …

This paper mainly introduces the shortcomings of the traditional automobile generator
control system and the improvement of the defects of the traditional automobile generator …
