This study discusses a general formulation for risk assessment of ground-mounted rigid sliding equipment and contents during earthquakes. The displacement and acceleration response of blocks during earthquakes and risk ...

This study presents a general formulation for toppling risk assessment of rigid electrical equipment during earthquakes. The seismic response, toppling fragility functions and toppling risk were examined for three ...

Analogue sand-box experiments have been set up to illustrate and analyze the control exerted by lithological heterogeneities on the evolution of a model fold-and-thrust belt (FTB). The structural architecture within many ...

Influence of a rigid block in a strike-slip fault system: analogue modelling. This work addresses the kinematic effects of a rigid block in strike-slip systems by using analogue models. The experiments (size, behaviour of ...
