报告简介
Ground response to earthquake loading is one of the fundamental problems in earthquake-related research. Most ground response analyses assume vertically propagating shear waves in a horizontally layered soil-rock system and simply ignore the effect of ground response to vertical earthquake motion, although actual ground motions are comprised of both horizontal and vertical components. In several recent earthquakes very strong vertical ground motions have been recorded, raising great concern over the potential effect of vertical motion on engineering structures. In this seminar, a simple and practical procedure for analysis of site response to both horizontal and vertical earthquake motions will be introduced together with an assessment of the procedure using downhole array records from real earthquakes. Geotechnical factors affecting vertical and horizontal ground motions will be discussed along with several implications for engineering practice.
报告人简介
Dr. Yang has been teaching at the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Hong Kong since 2003. His research spans a spectrum of topics in geotechnical and earthquake engineering, including cyclic loading behavior and liquefaction of sand, earthquake ground response, dynamic soil-structure interaction and pile foundations. He was a recipient of the Humboldt Fellowship in 2001 and is the immediate past president of the ASCE Hong Kong Section.
