Seismic Response Analysis of Concrete Lining Structure in Large Underground Powerhouse

Seismic Performance Analysis of FRP Reinforced Concrete Frame Structure

Based on the experimental study for seismic performance of FRP reinforced concrete beam-column joints, two-storey two-span plane frames were taken for examples, in which the static elastoplastic analysis (the pushover method) was carried on the joints of the FRP strengthened concrete frames, and then the comparative analysis was made on seismic performance of RFP strengthened frame structure th...

Response Spectra and Seismic Analysis for Concrete Hydraulic Structures

Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Columns

There are a large number of reinforced concrete buildings in seismically active areas of the world that are not built in accordance with modern seismic design provisions such as those published by American Concrete Institution ([ACI] Committee 318, 2008). In the United States and other parts of the developed world, these buildings were constructed between 1930s to mid 1970s according to the bui...

Response Spectra and Seismic Analysis for Concrete Hydraulic Structures

Applicability of Seismic Deformation Method to Aseismic Analysis of Underground Linear Structure

In this paper, it was firstly confirmed by FEM analysis of ground during earthquake that two kinds of techniques using both displacements of hollow and natural grounds in seismic deformation method were equivalent. Then, the authors were proposed a criterion for evaluating applicability of seismic deformation method, based on comparison of calculated results of both the above-mentioned techniqu...
