...Yaser Jafarian; Mohammad H. Baziar; Mohammad Rezania; Akbar A. Javadi Purpose In this paper, the peak kinetic energy density (KED) of soil particles during earthquake excitation is used as an intensity measure for the evaluation of liquefaction potential under field conditions. The paper seeks...

...Wenshen Pong; Zu‐Hsu Lee; Chong‐Shein Tsai; Bo‐Jen Chen Purpose The use of supplemental damping to dissipate energy is one of the most economical and effective ways to mitigate the effects of earthquake on structures. For practicing engineers, the ideal design procedure for buildings...

..., implementation, and verification. The data used consisted of 3,895 case records, mostly from the cone penetration test (CPT) results produced from the two major earthquakes that took place in Turkey and Taiwan in 1999. The case records were divided randomly into training, testing and validation datasets. Soil...

...Hamid Movaffaghi; Olof Friberg Purpose The objective is to study the optimal damper placement of a given number of passive viscoelastic dampers, when the structure (nuclear plant) is subjected to motions from earthquake, in order to reduce the acceleration responses at a particular location...
