Abstract: The recent development of the seismic pounding effect between adjacent bridge decks and falling-off measures were introduced in this paper. Firstly, the computing theories and analytical methods of contact-pounding between ...

Abstract: One-dimensional viscous behavior of clay was evaluated by performing drained one-dimensional compression tests, and drained triaxial compression tests. In both types of tests, the strain rate was changed stepwise many times ...

Abstract: Abstract Seismic isolation has become a mature and widely adopted strategy for mitigating earthquake-induced damage in high-intensity seismic regions. The incorporation of energy dissipation (ED) devices has further advanced ...
