Seismic fragility analysis, which quantitatively describes the dynamic relationship between earthquake intensity and structural failure probability, plays an important role in overall seismic risk assessment. An appropriate demand model can significantly improve efficiency of currently most commonly used is lognormal model. However, recent studies have shown that this model's rationality still ...

Subsurface modeling from seismic and borehole data is important for reservoir prediction, geophysical exploration and production. A reasonable model should honor borehole rock properties and conform to seismic structural and stratigraphic features. Such a subsurface model can be di cult to create in cases complicated by faults and unconformities. Automatic and semi-automatic methods have been p...

This paper presents the formulation of a time-dependent seismic fragility format for bridges, as well as new insights into the potential effects of aging and deterioration on seismic vulnerability traditionally neglected in fragility modeling, including joint impacts of multiple component deterioration not investigated to date. The study evaluates the impact of lifetime exposure to chlorides fr...

based on the convolutional model, a seismic trace is the convolution of seismic source wavelet and reflection coefficient series of the earth. seismic source wavelet estimation is one of the most important stages in processing and interpretation of seismic data. accurate estimation of wavelet increases the efficiency of the deconvolution and temporal resolution of seismic data. on the other han...

although there is enough knowledge indicating on the influence of frequency content of input motion on the deformation demand of structures, state-of-the-practice seismic studies use the intensity measures such as peak ground acceleration (pga) which are not frequency dependent. the v max/a max ratio of strong ground motions can be used in seismic hazard studies as the representative of frequen...

Nowadays, the stress analysis mostly aimed at general buried pipelines. And few of the gas pipelines in tunnel (especially under the seismic action) were analyzed. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the stress distribution of gas pipeline under seismic action in tunnel. In this paper, CEASAR II software was used to establish the stress model of China-Myanmar XX tunnel pipeline under seismic ...
