Evaluation of the Performance of Lateral Spread Displacement Empirical Models for Subduction Zone Earthquake Case Histories

Creator:: Bunn, Michael
Abstract:: Lateral spread is a pervasive type of liquefaction-induced ground failure that occurs on gentle slopes or near free-faces, such as river channels. Resulting horizontal displacements can reach up to several meters, and can be considerably damaging to foundations, bridges, roadways, pipelines, etc. In the 1990s, Bartlett and Youd (1992a, 1995)...

Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard and Damage Assessment of the Built Environment : Applied at Seaside, Oregon

Creator:: Park, Hyoungsu
Abstract:: Damage estimates to the built environment from tsunamis are important for disaster mitigation, including planning emergency response and recovery. This dissertation evaluates the damage states of buildings in a small urban coastal city, Seaside, Oregon, from tsunami hazards generated by a Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) event. This study is separated...

Deformation-based seismic design models for waterfront structures

Creator:: Yang, Dong-Shan
Abstract:: Recent experience demonstrates that waterfront structures are vulnerable to earthquake damage. The poor seismic performance of these facilities has been primarily due to liquefaction of backfill and/or foundation soils and the lack of seismic design standards for waterfront structures. The seismic performance of waterfront structures is a key issue in...

Full Text:: waterfront structures are vulnerable to earthquake damage. The poor seismic performance of these facilities

The equations of motion of a deformable saturated porous medium with micropolar structure

Creator:: Dixon, Leonard T.
Abstract:: The micropolar equations of motion are developed, in a very general form, for a mixture of fluid and solid particles. The fluid is allowed to move differently than the solids, and the solids are modeled as a micropolar continuum. That is, the solid particles have an additional degree of freedom...

Numerical assessment of steel plate shear wall with coupling (SPSW-WC) system design procedure

Creator:: Li, Wennan
Abstract:: The Steel Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) system, is an innovative seismic lateral force resistant system, which has experienced increased use over the last three decades. The SPSW system is composed of boundary elements which anchor web plates that develop diagonal tension fields. A number of SPSW buildings have been built...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: system. In this thesis, the strip model of SPSW was selected for structural numerical modeling using the

Response of equipment in resilient-friction base isolated structures subjected to ground motion

Creator:: Lei, Kai-ming
Abstract:: The response of lightweight equipment in structures supported on resilient-friction-base isolators (R-FBI) subjected to harmonic ground motion and various earthquake ground motions is examined. The equipment-structure base system is modeled as a three degree-of-freedom discrete system (SDOF subsystems). An efficient semi-analytical numerical solution procedure for the determination of equipment response...

Aseismic performance of a cable-stayed structure with decentralized H[infinity] control

Creator:: Chńg, Guan B.
Abstract:: The dissertation uses state-of-the-art structural engineering theories, in parallel with the modern and still-developing control theory of electrical engineering to mitigate the vibratory responses of a double-stayed bridge subjected to strong earthquake ground motions. First, a nonlinear finite element model of the double-stayed bridge subjected to non-uniform (multi-support) earthquake excitations...

Tsunami-induced Soil Instability

Creator:: Fischer, Rachael Marie
Abstract:: Recent tsunami field surveys from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami have recorded numerous examples of tsunami-induced soil instability: significant scour around foundations, foundation failure of piles, and other damage caused by liquefaction. From the observations of soil instability leading to the failure of critical coastal structures, it...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: recently, the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami caused widespread damage to coastal 2
