Influence caused by initial tectonic stress on relative measurement of borehole ground stress in viscoelastic media
In this paper, we discussed the influence of the initial tectonic stress on the relative measurement value of the ground stress when a long cylindrical straingauge is used in the viscoelastic media. We simulat...

Influence of long period seismic waves induced by the Taiwan large earthquake on Shanghai area
In this paper a group of long period seismic waves in Shanghai area induced by Taiwan large earthquake is presented by using the method of semi-empirical Green function, the period is up to 20 s. Such seismic ...

A probability-consistent method based on practical ground surface motion
In this paper, a new method for seismic hazard analysis, the probability-consistent method based on practical ground surface motion is proposed. Time histories on ground surface in the method correspond to ear...

Probability-consistent earthquakes and probability-consistent conservative earthquakes
It is pointed out in this paper that the concept of scenario earthquake, expectant earthquake or proposed earthquake suggested by Kameda Nojima (1988) is not probability-consistent due to unfit understanding f...

Probability-consistent spectrum and code spectrum
In the seismic safety evaluation (SSE) for key projects, the probability-consistent spectrum (PCS), usually obtained from probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA), is not consistent with the design respons...

Large, moderate, small earthquakes and seismic fortification criterion
This paper discusses the relation between two-step seismic design and the standard of probability of exceedance, and the relation of three-levels seismic ground motion parameters given by probability method an...
