Abstract: Nonuniform seismic motion affects the seismic behavior of long-span bridges. Three main reasons for this nonuniformity have been identified. They are local soil conditions, wave passage, and incoherency effects. Other ...

Abstract: One of the most frequently used approaches for minimizing the potential for progressive collapse in buildings is the alternate path method. The appeal of this method is primarily due to its relative simplicity and threat ...

Abstract: We present an overview of the analysis and design of mitigation schemes for buried structures subjected to impact loading, with a focus on the hazard evaluation to underground utilities from ...
