The development of earthquake engineering in China is described into three stages.The initial stage in 1950's -1960's was marked with the initiation of
The earth’s surface irregularities can substantially affect seismic waves and induce amplifi cations of ground motions. This study investigates whether and how
The effect of seawater on vertical ground motions is studied via a theoretical method and then actual offshore ground motion records are analyzed using a statis
The objective of this research is to determine the effect earthquakes have on the performance of transportation network systems. To do this, bridge fragility cu
