In a country that experiences earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, floods, droughts and everything else you can think of, a system like I-React is of critical importance. ...
Although two years have already passed after the East Japan Great Earthquake in 2011, outstanding topics such as having a resilient network for disasters still remain. ...
The optimal design parameters of TMD in terms of damping coefficients and spring constant corresponding of TMD are determined through minimisation of two performance index contain inter-story drifts and acceleration of floors for safety and habitability respectively under one-dimensional earthquake loading simulated by passing a Gaussian white noise process ...
Travel behaviours were examined following the earthquake of 6.8 magnitude in Gisborne, New Zealand, on 20 December 2007. Surveys were returned from 438 households detailing their travel and information-seeking immediately after the earthquake. Although 85% of people experienced the earthquake at home, a volume of traffic that approximated peak ...
A computer-aided personal interviewing survey containing 63 items examining post-earthquake travel behaviours was administered to 802 members of the general public. Earthquake simulation videos modelled a moderate and severe event (6.8 and 7.5, respectively, on the Richter scale) in an office and home setting. Travel movements were recorded over ...
This paper established a spatial computable general equilibrium model to simulate the Japanese economy. Four scenarios representing different possible labour and capital loss in the prospective Nankai earthquake were set up to assess the impacts of labour and capital on regional economy.Keywords: spatial computable general equilibrium, SCGE model, labour loss, ...
Earthquake simulation videos were created modelling a moderate and severe event (6.8 and 7.5 respectively on the Richter Scale) in an office and home setting. ...
This paper describes a discrete event simulation model of the post-earthquake restoration process for electric power systems. ...
In the face of increased development, civil infrastructure systems are increasingly vulnerable to catastrophic failures as a result of ageing, overuse and poor planning when disasters such as earthquakes strike. Water supply systems are among the most vulnerable infrastructure systems and arguably, the most essential for human existence. ...
The container was then subjected to “earthquake motions” simulated by the shaking table system and the accelerations of various parts of the system measured by means of accelerometers. The test results show that the bumpy road wheel acceleration has a substantial amount of high-frequency components. During earthquake tests, the bumpy road ...
