An Application of the Coherent Noise Model for the Prediction of Aftershock Magnitude Time Series by Stavros-Richard G. Christopoulos, Nicholas V. Sarlis

“…Here, using the relocated catalogue from Southern California Seismic Network for 1981 to June 2011, we evaluate the application of this algorithm for the aftershocks of strong earthquakes of magnitude M≥6. The study is also extended by using the Global Centroid Moment Tensor Project catalogue to the case of the six strongest earthquakes in the Earth during the last almost forty years. …”

Dynamic Analyses of Isolated Structures under Bi-Directional Excitations of Near-Field Ground Motions by Gokhan Ozdemir, Ugurhan Akyuz

“…Nonlinear response history analyses (NRHA) of a 3-story isolated reinforced concrete (RC) building are carried out under both uni- and bi-directional earthquake excitations of near-field records. NRHA are conducted for a wide range of yield strength (Q/W) of lead rubber bearings (LRB), and isolation period (T). …”

Probability of Local Liquefaction of Saturated Sands in Half-Space Domains under a Train of Surface Point Explosions by Luis A. de Béjar

“…The adopted criterion of liquefaction has been experimentally verified both in the laboratory and in the field when continua of saturated sands were subjected to equivalent cyclic shear stress due to earthquake excitation. A first-order second-moment technique for the probabilistic assessment of the liquefaction potential in practical situations is developed and implemented in a computer program. …”

A New Buckling-Restrained Brace with a Variable Cross-Section Core by Liang Li, Tianhua Zhou, Junwu Chen, Jianfeng Chen

“…The test results show that (1) none of the specimens buckle under compression, as expected, and their ductilities and energy dissipation capacities are satisfactory; (2) the derived formulas are reliable and can be conveniently used in engineering practice; and (3) the yielding displacement of the BRB-VCC is approximately 70% that of the traditional TJ-1 buckling-restrained brace (BRB-TJ-1), which may yield earlier than the BRB-TJ-1 in concrete structures under the action of an earthquake.…”

Experimental Study of Awash Soil under Static and Cyclic Shear Loading by Tigistu Abu Arficho, Argaw Asha Ashango

“…The dynamic soil properties (shear modulus and damping ratio) are of great importance for the analysis and design of geotechnical structures subjected to dynamic loads such as earthquake. Cyclic simple shear tests were conducted to study the variation of shear modulus and damping ratio with a different number of factors for strain amplitudes of 0.01%, 0.1%, 1%, 2.5%, and 5% and for a frequency of 1 Hz at an axial stress of 150 kPa, 275 kPa, and 400 kPa. …”
