They’re usually built on stilts. Most of the houses are built to have a pier or pier and beam foundation. You can visualize a pier foundation by looking at a wood deck. Pier foundation serves best for sites where it is difficult to dig a traditional foundation. They’re also ideal for...

A horizontal load is applied to the side of the cap beam, and the loading system refers to the low-cycle reciprocating test in Section 3.1 of this paper. To verify the accuracy of the finite element model, Figure 7 compares the experimental hysteresis curve with the finite element results ...
bridge pier; double-limb-thin-wall; quasistatic tests; replaceable energy-dissipation beam; seismic performance1. Introduction Rigid-frame bridges are a main structural form of long-span bridges crossing valleys and rivers [1,2], and double-limb-thin-wall (DLTW) piers are commonly used in ...
1, and so on. To analyze the dynamic nonlinear response of this five-span high-pier continuous rigid-frame bridge under the influence of pulse-like ground motions, a 3D finite element model was established using OpenSees to conduct a numerical simulation. We used a displacement-based beam-...
We applied a filtering procedure to exclude velocity measurements that had the following: beam correlation below 80%, signal to noise ratio (SNR) below 20 dB, and a standard deviation exceeding 20% of the measured velocity value. Figure 3 displays the horizontal component of flow velocity (𝑉...
