Acceleration.csv contains the acceleration time-history curves at measurement points A2, A3, and A4 under the El Centro earthquake wave and the Kobe earthquake wave with a peak ground acceleration (PGA) of 0.1 g. Pore water pressure.csv contains the pore water pressure time-history curves at measurement points W1, W2, W3, and W4 under the El Centro wave and the Kobe wave with a PGA of 1.0 g.

The understanding of the dynamic behavior of an arch dam and its evolution over time provides important data for safety control procedures. Forced vibration tests remain a reliable technique for dynamic characterization, providing the response to excitation levels higher than ambient vibration measurements. Forced vibration tests were performed before and after the reservoir filling in a recent a…

Timely assessment, retrofitting (or replacement) of bridges has become an urgent matter due to their deteriorating conditions, the rise in traffic load demand and seismic code requirements, as demonstrated by recent failures observed worldwide. Various retrofitting solutions exist to enhance the seismic capacity in accordance with code-based requirements, but selecting the most appropriate one(s)…

This study develops seismic fragility curves for monopole telecommunication towers (MTT) with heights of 15 m, 20 m, and 30 m commonly used in Turkey. Nonlinear finite element and Incremental Dynamic Analyses were performed using 32 far-field records. The results show that fragility increases significantly with tower height. Unlike previous studies, this work systematically compares height-depend…
