Abstract: Post-earthquake investigations showed that local site condition had significant effect on seismic behavior of pipelines: almost all seismic damages to buried pipelines were either due to permanent ...

Abstract: Urban water delivery systems can be damaged by earthquakes or severely cold weather. In either case, the damage cannot easily be detected and located, especially immediately after the event. In recent years, real-time ...

Abstract: This paper presents a rigorous derivation of a previously known formula for simulation of one-dimensional, univariate, nonstationary stochastic processes integrating Priestly’s evolutionary spectral representation theory. ...

Abstract: An improved accurate closed-form wave function analytic solution of two-dimensional scattering and diffraction of antiplane SH waves by a semicircular cylindrical hill on an elastic half space is presented. In the previous ...

Abstract: Drainage networks are generally repaired after a failure occurs, and there is a lack of risk prevention and evaluation. To provide an effective evaluation method for the safe operation of drainage pipe networks, particularly ...
