Abstract Two models of the 10-story reinforced concrete building tested at E-Defense laboratory in 2015 are built: F model, which nonlinear behavior is distributed over element length, and H lumped plastic hinges with a moment-chord rotation response assigned based on empirical formulations proposed literature. Nonlinear time–history analyses performed to reproduce experimental shaking-table te...

This paper primarily investigates the protective effect of damping layer in tunnel lining structures under dynamic loads. A series shaking table tests was conducted to investigate seismic response mechanism linings and influence surrounding rocks using Wenchuan earthquake (magnitude 8.0) as a reference. The results show that protection measures is accurate efficiency evaluation method for excit...
