Analysis of fault rupture propagation through uniform soil cover
(2009)This paper presents results from numerical simulations of the propagation of an active dip-slip fault rupture through a uniform soil layer covering the rigid bedrock. Following verification of the numerical methodology ... -
Behavior of a seismically isolated bridge crossing a fault rupture zone
(2014)The effect of the fault rupture zone traversing a seismically isolated bridge is investigated utilizing a finite element model of a section of the Bolu Viaduct and a set of synthetic broadband strong ground motions simulated ... -
The effects of construction practices on the seismic performance of RC frames with masonry infills
(2008)A number of construction practices, implemented during the design process of a reinforced concrete (RC) structural system, may have significant consequences on the behaviour of the structural system in the case of earthquake ... -
A geographical information system managing geotechnical data for Athens (Greece) and its use for automated seismic microzonation
(2008)This article presents a geographical information system (GIS) which manages geotechnical data obtained from detailed geotechnical surveys as well as from in situ observations in Athens, Greece. Thoroughly examined data ... -
Life-cycle cost analysis of design practices for RC framed structures
(2007)The objective of this study is to perform life-cycle cost analysis on three design practices namely weak ground storey, short and floating columns and their combinations. Life-cycle cost analysis is recognized as the only ... -
Methodology for automated GIS-aided seismic microzonation studies
(2008)This paper presents an automated methodology for performing geographic information system (GIS)-aided seismic microzonation studies. It presupposes the existence of a geotechnical database containing data from sampling ... -
Methodology for estimating seismic coefficients for performance-based design of earthdams and tall embankments
(2014)Following an overview of pertinent literature, this paper presents a new methodology for estimating seismic coefficients for the performance-based design of earth dams and tall embankments. The methodology is based on ...
