Abstract:Long-span structures (e.g. dams or canyon-crossing bridges) are usually located at the sites with media transition, local topography and partially filled water. However, the existing studies on the spatially variable seismic motions considering local terrains mainly focus on the single- or dual-phase media with rare consideration of the effect of media transition. Therefore, this study is motivated to present and theoretically investigate the feature of seismic motions special for a media-transition canyon wit… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
