The possibility of inertia force in the superstructure and liquefaction-induced flow is low as the main cause of the collapse of the Showa Bridge. There is a high possibility that it was due to increased displacement of the ground in circumstances where pile deformation occurred more easily due ...
Testimony from eyewitnesses of the Showa Bridge collapse was collected with the objective of pinning down the cause of the collapse. On the basis of this testimony, a chronology of events was established. The bridge collapsed about 70 seconds from the beginning of the earthquake, i.e., long ...

We explain this by considering that the ground-shaking energy generated by the mainshocks is large enough to cause weak and unstable landslides close to the epicenters to collapse shortly after the earthquakes, but the earthquake-induced energy in the far field is relatively weak and gives rise ...

Her main research areas are progressive collapse mechanisms of frame and flat plate structures, finite element analysis and modelling, failure analysis of planar continuum structures with and without openings, cracking and punching shear failure analyses in flat slab systems, bridge deterioration modelling...
The freeway collapse has pushed traffic onto crowded surface streets between Santa Monica and Downtown Los Angeles as frustrated commuters sought alternative routes. Detours have caused delays of 20 minutes or more. The bridges on the Santa Monica were among six that collapsed in the Northridge ea...
Collapse ratios of buildings due to the 1995 Kobe earthquake and interference between S-wave and the second surface wave at basin edge The distribution characteristics of collapse ratios of buildings in Kobe city due to the 1995 M7.2 Hyogo-ken Nanbu, Japan (Kobe) earthquake and the interfe.....
When Turkish lender Denizbank paid more than $350 million for the building that houses its headquarters in April, the purchase cemented the bank’s place in Istanbul’s most expensive commercial district. Yet, almost as soon as the ink had dried on … ...
In Fig. 1, LS1 through LS4 stand for, in order, the onset of cracking, the yield point, the beginning of degradation, and the ultimate collapse. As schematically can be seen in Fig. 11 (left), the ratio of the cracking ductility, or Dc/Dy, is the division between the cracking initi...
