Stochastic Mainshock-Aftershock Simulation and Its Applications in Dynamic Reliability of Structural Systems via DPIM

Rui Pang et al.

Summary: A novel approach for nonlinear stochastic dynamic analysis is proposed and illustrated with nonlinear building structures subjected to mainshock-aftershock sequences. The method includes establishing a stochastic seismic sequence model, choosing representative point sets of seismic parameters using generalized F-discrepancy, determining the correlation between mainshock and aftershock parameters using Copula theory, obtaining the stochastic dynamic response by solving the probability density integral equation, and obtaining the first-passage dynamic reliability using the direct probability integral method. The proposed method is compared to Monte Carlo simulation and probability density evolution method to demonstrate its correctness and efficiency. The influence of aftershocks on nonlinear structures is explained from the perspective of probability for the first time.

Geotechnical uncertainty, modeling, and decision making

Kok-Kwang Phoon et al.

Summary: Modeling is just one aspect of decision making, and the lack of consideration for uncertainties is a major limitation. This review paper focuses on uncertainty quantification and calculation, and discusses how it enhances the role of modeling in decision making. The key output from a reliability analysis is the probability of failure, which is sensitive to data and meaningful for both system and component failures. Geotechnical software can provide better decision support by computing the probability of failure/reliability index as one basic output.

Triggering mechanism and possible evolution process of the ancient Qingshi landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir

Luqi Wang et al.

Summary: The Qingshi landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir, triggered by water storage in 2010, experienced a leading edge slip followed by large-scale deformation of the trailing edge. However, with compaction in early 2011 and emergency treatment in 2014, the landslide stabilized and displacement rate decreased. The study serves as an important reference for ancient landslides located on reservoir banks, highlighting the need to remain vigilant against abnormal water-level regulation and heavy rainfall.
