Abstract: A statistical study of yield spectra with high damping is presented. A set of 10 earthquake records is used as input ground motions for elastoplastic single degree of freedom systems with damping ratios from 10% to 50%. ...

Abstract: A real-time kinematic (RTK) global positioning system (GPS) has been developed and installed on the Humen Bridge (China) for on-line monitoring of bridge deck movement, which may occur as a result of seismic activity, ...
