Performance Based Design with 3D Dynamic SSI and FSI Analysis for Large Buried Water Storage Reservoirs

Jul 16, 2017

Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) has four large, buried concrete reservoirs constructed between 2006 and 2013 and ranging in size from 5MG to 64MG (20 to 240 million litres). These reservoirs are essential for maintaining post-seismic event fire suppression and domestic...

Seismic Performance Evaluation of Underground Structures – Past Practice and Future Trends

Jul 16, 2017

Underground structures are an integral part of civil infrastructure and play an ever-increasing role in a rapidly urbanizing world. Underground structures have generally performed better than aboveground structures during earthquakes when transient motions are...
