Seismic soil-structure interaction in buildings

Article Abstract:

An argument is presented supporting the inclusion of time-dependent changes caused by soil-structure interaction involving a nonlinear response, along with the role of kinematic analysis. An assertion is made that torsional responses do not significantly bias inertial interaction models.

Assessment of liquefaction potential during earthquakes by Arias intensity

Article Abstract:

The validity of the Arias intensity approach to assessing seismological liquefaction zones is discussed. Points include the model's depth-reduction coefficients, shear-stress and local-site amplification affects.
