Following the Northridge earthquake of 1994, a significant number of steel moment resisting structural systems were damaged. Several studies have been conducted to improve the seismic performance of steel structures and specially their beam-to-column connections. One of the proposed connections for special moment-resisting frames included AISC-358 is Kaiser bolted bracket moment connection, bri...

Bridge structure performance estimation under a seismic hazard can be significantly influenced by the level of modelling detail within the simulation of the soil structure interaction phenomenon. As the computational demands of such estimation greatly restricts the implementation of a detailed truncated FEM simulation of the semiinfinite soil domain, the Kelvin – Voigt Model within the framewor...

The two great Sumatra earthquakes of December 26, 2004, and March 28, 2005, are associated with a number of geodynamic processes affecting Earth’s shape, gravity field and rotation on a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. These include co-seismic strong motion, permanent co-seismic displacements, surface loading due to the barotropic tsunami, normal modes, and transient post-seismic defo...

Seismic-induced pore pressure and effective stresses in the saturated porous seabed under seismic loading are the main factors that govern the overall stability of submarine pipelines. In most of the previous investigations for the seismic-induced dynamic response around a submarine pipeline have been limited to two-dimension cases. In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element model includ...

Liquid storage cylindrical containers are built for storing a variety of liquids. The seismic behavior of tanks is, however, quite complex problem. The interaction of tank and liquid can be simplified with the concept of generalized single-degree-of-freedom systems representing the convective, rigid impulsive and flexible impulsive vibration modes. This paper presents the theoretical background...
