  • Coastal Soil and Structure Behavior during Earthquake-Tsunami Multi-Hazards

    Creator:
    Qiu, Yingqing
    Abstract:
    Coastal multi-hazards, i.e., earthquakes followed by tsunamis, induce severe damage to coastal infrastructure. The multi-hazards can cause soil liquefaction, which is one of the major concerns for evaluating sediments transport potential and structure failure mechanisms. The objectives for this work is threefold. First, to build and validate a soil numerical...

  • Multi-hazard framework and analysis of soil-bridge systems : long duration earthquake and tsunami loading

    Creator:
    Carey, Trevor J.
    Abstract:
    During the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, numerous bridge structures were damage or destroyed. The damage to bridge systems was caused by long duration strong ground shaking, tsunami inundation forces, or both. Long duration strong ground shaking from subduction zone earthquakes and the multi-hazard scenario of combined earthquake...

  • Adjacent structure response sensitivity to seismic events using the direct differentiation method

    Creator:
    White, William S.
    Abstract:
    The response of adjacent structural systems to earthquake motions is investigated using the finite element framework OpenSees. Results of sensitivity analyses demonstrate that structural response quantities can increase in either or both of the adjacent structures for specific configurations. The structural models used include steel moment-resisting frames and rigid shear...
