Abstract To explore the effect of canyon topography on seismic response railway irregular bridge–track system that crosses a V-shaped canyon, ground motions horizontal site and were simulated through theoretical analysis with 12 earthquake records selected from Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) Strong Ground Motion Database matching condition bridge. Nonlinear analyses an ex...

There are several significant seismological issues to consider in the analysis of soil structure interaction (SSI) effects of nuclear power plants (NPP). Typically, a seismic hazard analysis will be used to define free-field motions at the plant site; this paper therefore begins with an overview of seismic hazard analysis, with particular focus on stable continental regions such as eastern Nort...
