Abstract A major cause of local to total damages is related structural pounding in a large number past earthquakes. In general, these collisions take place as result differences the dynamic characteristics colliding structures. To acquire better perception behavior structures, this paper, three structures featuring different heights are modeled series and with various configurations next each o...

This study investigates the potential seismic risks of double fab structures uniquely seen in Taiwan’s semi-conductor industry. A typical eight-story double fab structure is considered as the object to explore the seismic vulnerability of such structural systems via computer simulation under realistic earthquake ground motion. As expected, excessive storydrifts are found to be focused on the cl...

[1] We report on seismic and petrological data that provide new constraints on the geological evolution of the Amerasia Basin. A seismic reflection transect across the Makarov Basin, located between the Mendeleev and Lomonosov Ridges, shows a complete undisturbed sedimentary section of Mesozoic/Cenozoic age. In contrast to the Mendeleev Ridge, the margin of the Lomonosov Ridge is wide and shows...
