Building is of a high degree statically indeterminacy and should be designed with strict requirement on stability, load combinations, aseismic measures so on. And in some cases, designers tend to decide dimensions reinforcement over standards intentionally. Thus, seismic capacity exceeds standard required design Stage the well-operated structure abided by code. This results considering problem ...

[1] Fault processes involve complex patterns of seismic events and aseismic slip. This work develops a three-dimensional (3-D) methodology for simulating long-term history of spontaneous seismic and aseismic slip on a vertical planar strike-slip fault subjected to slow tectonic loading. Our approach reproduces all stages of earthquake cycles, from accelerating slip before dynamic instability, t...

[1] Shear-wave splitting observations at several subduction systems show trench-parallel fast directions in the fore-arc mantle. The presence of B-type olivine fabric in the mantle wedge may provide an explanation for this pattern of anisotropy under low-temperature and hydrated conditions. Sensitivity tests are shown that provide insights into the distribution and magnitude of B-type fabric us...
