Time-domain dynamic constitutive model suitable for mucky soil site seismic response
Soil nonlinear behavior displays noticeable effects on the site seismic response. This study proposes a new functional expression of the skeleton curve to replace the hyperbolic skeleton curve. By integrating ...

Three-Dimensional Seismic Response in Complex Site Conditions: A New Approach Based on an Auxiliary-Model Method
In this paper, an auxiliary-model method is proposed for calculating equivalent input seismic loads in research of ground motions. This method can be used to investigate the local effect of 3D complex sites su...

A new instrumental measure of epicentral shaking intensity in Western China
We define here a new measure of epicentral shaking intensity (modified spectrum intensity), which we derive from strong motion instrumental data. This new metric is similar to Housner’s spectrum intensity, wit...

Spatio-temporal characteristics of strong aftershocks of the MS8.0 Wenchuan earthquake
Based on Gutenberg-Richter’s relation, Bath’s law, Omori’s law and Well’s relation of rupture scale, this paper forecasts the temporal decay, total number, possible area and greatest magnitude of strong afters...

Preliminary site classification of free-field strong motion stations based on Wenchuan earthquake records
During the great Wenchuan earthquake, about 460 permanent free-field stations in National Strong Motion Observation Network System (NSMONS) of China captured the main shock acceleration records. These records ...

Strong motion observations and recordings from the great Wenchuan Earthquake
The National Strong Motion Observation Network System (NSMONS) of China is briefly introduced in this paper. The NSMONS consists of permanent free-field stations, special observation arrays, mobile observatori...
