INFLUENCE OF BEAM HEIGHT-COLUMN WIDTH RATIO ON SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF RC MOMENT RESISTING FRAMES by A. Khalili, F. Nateghi Alahi

“…These provisions aim to achieve the concept of the weak beam-strong column, where plastic hinges during an earthquake occur first in the beams. Analysis of frequent and repetitive failures in strong earthquakes in recent decades of reinforced concrete structures shows that the strong beam-weak column failure mode typically leads to severe damage in these structures. …”

A Modified Newmark Methodology for Permanent Deformation Analysis of Rock-Fill Dams by Hongjun Li, Hong Zhong, Zuwen Yan, Jianming Zhao

“…In the presented research, a modified Newmark methodology for sliding deformation analysis of rock-fill dams subjected to strong earthquake is proposed. In order to make the seismic safety evaluation of dams more realistic, the influence of cyclic shear strength (earthquake-induced reduction of shear strength) and time history vertical acceleration obtained from the dynamic response analysis on the critical acceleration and accumulative sliding displacement of the flexible sliding body is considered. …”

Changes in Electrokinetic Coupling Coefficients of Granite under Triaxial Deformation by Osamu Kuwano, Shingo Yoshida

“…Electrokinetic phenomena are believed to be the most likely origin of electromagnetic signals preceding or accompanying earthquakes. The intensity of the source current due to the electrokinetic phenomena is determined by the fluid flux and the electrokinetic coupling coefficient called streaming current coefficient; therefore, how the coefficient changes before rupture is essential. …”

A Modified Newmark Method for Calculating Permanent Displacement of Seismic Slope considering Dynamic Critical Acceleration by Yulong Cui, Aijuan Liu, Chong Xu, Jun Zheng

“…Example calculations indicate that this approach permits to show the dropping cohesion and the dynamic critical acceleration of the slide block during the earthquake time history. The improved method for calculating seismic slope permanent displacement presented in this paper solves the problem that the calculated value from the Newmark sliding method is smaller than the real value and is a useful improvement.…”
