    Jiuqing Zhou1,2,3, Daming Lin4, Leifa Li1,2,3, Guanghui Zhang1,2,3, Shumao Qiu4,*

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.19, No.3, pp. 705-729, 2025, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2025.060298 - 03 April 2025

    Abstract The objective of this research is to assess the seismic behavior of the continuous T-beam bridge located at Kulungou in Xinjiang. In addition to traditional static and modal analyses, this study introduces a novel approach by comprehensively examining the performance of the bridge during construction stages, under ultimate load capacities and seismic load. Compliance with regulatory standards is verified by the static analysis, which also yields a thorough comprehension of stress distribution across various stages of construction. By unveiling the initial 100 vibration modes, the modal analysis has significantly enhanced our comprehension and established… More >

    Ahed Habib1,*, Zaid A. Al-Sadoon2, Murat Saatcioglu3, Ausamah Al Houri4, Mohamed Maalej2, Salah Al-Toubat2, Mazen Shrif2

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.19, No.3, pp. 417-439, 2025, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2025.059524 - 03 April 2025

    Abstract Squat reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls are essential structural elements in low-rise buildings, valued for their high strength and stiffness. However, research on their seismic behavior remains limited, as most studies focus on tall, slender walls, which exhibit distinct failure mechanisms and deformation characteristics. This study addresses this gap by conducting an extensive review of existing research on the seismic performance of squat RC shear walls. Experimental studies, analytical models, and numerical simulations are examined to provide insights into key factors affecting wall behavior during seismic events, including material properties, wall geometry, reinforcement detailing, and More >

    An SPH Framework for Earthquake-Induced Liquefaction Hazard Assessment of Geotechnical Structures

    Sourabh Mhaski*, G. V. Ramana

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.142, No.1, pp. 251-277, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.055963 - 17 December 2024

    Abstract Earthquake-induced soil liquefaction poses significant risks to the stability of geotechnical structures worldwide. An understanding of the liquefaction triggering, and the post-failure large deformation behaviour is essential for designing resilient infrastructure. The present study develops a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) framework for earthquake-induced liquefaction hazard assessment of geotechnical structures. The coupled flow-deformation behaviour of soils subjected to cyclic loading is described using the PM4Sand model implemented in a three-phase, single-layer SPH framework. A staggered discretisation scheme based on the stress particle SPH approach is adopted to minimise numerical inaccuracies caused by zero-energy modes and tensile… More >

    Hacer Kabakoglu1,2,*, Fatma Nuray Kuşçu Sahin2

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.26, No.10, pp. 855-863, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2024.055653 - 31 October 2024

    Abstract Background: Disasters have effects that leave great negative marks on our lives, even after many years have passed. Individuals who experience an earthquake experience physical and psychological difficulties. The purpose of this study is to determine how psychological resilience levels affect the feeling of hopelessness and post-traumatic growth in adults who experienced the 06 February, 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake. Methods: Data were collected using the “Personal Information Form (PIF)”, “Turkish forms of Adult Resilience Measure (ARM)”, “Dispositional Hope Scale (DHS)” and “Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI)”. In order to determine whether there is a significant difference in… More >

    Simulation and Traffic Safety Assessment of Heavy-Haul Railway Train-Bridge Coupling System under Earthquake Action

    Liangwei Jiang1,2, Wei Zhang2, Hongyin Yang1,2,3,*, Xiucheng Zhang1, Jinghan Wu2, Zhangjun Liu2

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.18, No.6, pp. 835-851, 2024, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2024.051125 - 20 September 2024

    Abstract Aiming at the problem that it is difficult to obtain the explicit expression of the structural matrix in the traditional train-bridge coupling vibration analysis, a combined simulation system of train-bridge coupling system (TBCS) under earthquake (MAETB) is developed based on the cooperative work of MATLAB and ANSYS. The simulation system is used to analyze the dynamic parameters of the TBCS of a prestressed concrete continuous rigid frame bridge benchmark model of a heavy-haul railway. The influence of different driving speeds, seismic wave intensities, and traveling wave effects on the dynamic response of the TBCS under More >

    Harnessing ML and GIS for Seismic Vulnerability Assessment and Risk Prioritization

    Shalu1, Twinkle Acharya1, Dhwanilnath Gharekhan1,*, Dipak Samal2

    Revue Internationale de Géomatique, Vol.33, pp. 111-134, 2024, DOI:10.32604/rig.2024.051788 - 15 May 2024

    Abstract Seismic vulnerability modeling plays a crucial role in seismic risk assessment, aiding decision-makers in pinpointing areas and structures most prone to earthquake damage. While machine learning (ML) algorithms and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have emerged as promising tools for seismic vulnerability modeling, there remains a notable gap in comprehensive geospatial studies focused on India. Previous studies in seismic vulnerability modeling have primarily focused on specific regions or countries, often overlooking the unique challenges and characteristics of India. In this study, we introduce a novel approach to seismic vulnerability modeling, leveraging ML and GIS to address… More >

    Assessment of Particle Matter Pollution during Post-Earthquake Debris Removal in Adiyaman City

    Ercan Vural*

    Revue Internationale de Géomatique, Vol.33, pp. 37-50, 2024, DOI:10.32604/rig.2024.047908 - 29 March 2024

    Abstract Severe earthquakes in the world and in Turkey can cause great loss of life and property, environmental problems and health problems. In addition to the loss of life and property, earthquakes are closely related to ecosystems, air, water, and soil pollution. Particularly in post-earthquake debris removal, very large amounts of particulate matter are released and may have negative effects on the health of the local population. This study aimed to detect two types of particle matter pollution during debris removal in 25 different locations in Adiyaman City using a CEM DT 9880 particle matter measuring… More >

    Influence of Vertical Irregularity on the Seismic Behavior of Base Isolated RC Structures with Lead Rubber Bearings under Pulse-Like Earthquakes

    Ali Mahamied1, Amjad A. Yasin1, Yazan Alzubi1,*, Jamal Al Adwan1, Issa Mahamied2

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.17, No.6, pp. 501-519, 2023, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2023.028686 - 17 November 2023

    Abstract Nowadays, an extensive number of studies related to the performance of base isolation systems implemented in regular reinforced concrete structures subjected to various types of earthquakes can be found in the literature. On the other hand, investigations regarding the irregular base-isolated reinforced concrete structures’ performance when subjected to pulse-like earthquakes are very scarce. The severity of pulse-like earthquakes emerges from their ability to destabilize the base-isolated structure by remarkably increasing the displacement demands. Thus, this study is intended to investigate the effects of pulse-like earthquake characteristics on the behavior of low-rise irregular base-isolated reinforced concrete More >

    Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Silos under Far-Field and Near-Fault Earthquakes

    Anwer H. Hussein*, Hussam K. Risan

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.16, No.3, pp. 213-233, 2022, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2022.018293 - 18 July 2022

    Abstract Silos are strategical structures used to stockpile various types of granular materials. They are highly vulnerable to earthquake excitation and have been frequently reported to fail at a higher rate than any other industrial structure. The seismic response of silos within the near-fault region will suffer a complex combination of loadings due to the unique characteristics of the near-fault ground motions; which are usually associated with a large amplitude pulse at the beginning of either the velocity or the displacement time histories. This study aims to numerically evaluate the seismic response of reinforced concrete cylindrical… More >
