There are no risk-stratification systems available for routine use. This retrospective, academic, two-centre analysis included consecutive patients who presented with acute STEMI between March 2008 and December 2019. In total, 5263 patients underwent pPCI; all patients were included in the analysis only once. Baseline characteristics were gathered from prospective local registries and based on initial hospitalization. The study enrolled 5263 patients who had been treated with pPCI; it found that cardiovascular mortality was the most frequent cause of death (65.0%) on long-term follow-up to 12 years. Myocardial infarction associated mortality was 27.2%. Cardiovascular mortality was dominant, including in the landmark analysis beyond 1 year. Multivariate analysis identified significant predictors for long-term cardiovascular mortality: age, history of diabetes mellitus, history of renal insufficiency, history of heart failure, Killip class, and successful pPCI at presentation. A predictive model was built to evaluate the risk of cardiovascular death with a high discrimination value (C-statistic = 0.84). Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of long-term mortality after pPCI in the Central European population.

Three and eight-story RC buildings are designed and assessed before and after retrofit considering the aftershocks effect. Non-linear time-history response analysis (NLTHA) using twelve natural earthquake sequences are used to produce incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) curves to obtain the median collapse capacity of the structures. Three different damage state (DS) levels are used for the mainshock ground excitation to quantify the scale factors required for conducting the aftershock IDAs. The maximum inter-story drift ratio (MIDR) is used as the main engineering demand parameter. The study shows the importance of considering the aftershock in the seismic assessment process of RC structures. The un-retrofitted structures are found to experience a high level of deterioration under aftershock event which is not considered in the design stage. The findings of the study reveal that the mainshock-aftershock sequence responses of the retrofitted structures show better performance in terms of the median collapse capacity and the seismic fragility compared to the un-retrofitted ones.","PeriodicalId":49080,"journal":{"name":"Earthquakes and Structures","volume":"21 1","pages":"219"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47513510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the construction quality of precast RC frames is difficult to guarantee, and the interface of new and old concrete and the bond-slip effects of additional steel bars may lead to different performance levels of precast RC frames. Therefore, it is necessary and important to investigate and assess the seismic performance of precast RC frames that adopt the conformation of Chinese code. In this paper, a numerical simulation method for precast RC frames is developed based on OpenSEES software, in which the Joint2D element is used to simulate the beam-to-column connections to consider the shear and bond-slip effects. Two prototype structures of precast RC frames are designed, and the nonlinear time history analysis is performed to explore the seismic performance of the precast RC frames according to the Chinese code. Meanwhile, the incremental dynamic analysis and fragility analysis are conducted to study the differences in seismic performance and collapse resistance between precast RC frames and cast-in-situ RC frames.","PeriodicalId":49080,"journal":{"name":"Earthquakes and Structures","volume":"21 1","pages":"277-289"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43528900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dams, designed to be built in high seismicity areas, are prone to damage due to intensive earthquake events. Strong ground motions recorded in the vicinity of fault planes are generally considered as near fault (or near source) ground motions. Near fault ground motions possess considerably different features which have high damage potential. In last few decades, a lot of studies have been conducted on the identification, characterization and simulation of pulse-type and non pulse-type ground motions. However, researchers have paid attention to the seismic safety assessment of dams under near fault and far fault ground motions since the last decade. In this context, this present study reports a state-of-the-art review on the seismic behaviour of various types of dams under different ground motions, based on available literature. This study also describes existing modelling techniques of the dam-reservoir-foundation system, failure modes, seismic analysis method and seismic response of different kinds of dams to near fault and far fault earthquakes. Finally, the study attempts to find the research gaps, which should be given proper attention in the future.","PeriodicalId":49080,"journal":{"name":"Earthquakes and Structures","volume":"21 1","pages":"251-263"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42698123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Enhancing the effectiveness of in-situ Vs profiling by reducing time and cost is of great interest. For that reason, this study aims at assessing Vs profile generation from a single-station three-component geophone with additional borehole log data for constraining parameter space. Based on multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW), and microtremor array Measurements (MAM) conducted previously at seven sites located in Bukit Timah Granite, Singapore, this study utilized HVSR signals for Rayleigh wave ellipticity (ellipticity curve) inversion with additional inversion constraint using borehole log data. The resulting Vs profiles and reference Vs profiles from MASW and MAM were quantitatively compared using average Vs of 30 m (Vs30). The profiles generated from ellipticity curve inversion revealed a good agreement with Vs reference profiles. Vs30 based site classification results also indicated a good fit of two test results. Therefore, HVSR measurements for further ellipticity curve inversion, with already available borehole log data for constraint, is considered as a promising cost and time-effective site classification approach.","PeriodicalId":49080,"journal":{"name":"Earthquakes and Structures","volume":"21 1","pages":"231-238"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46904393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accordingly, these structures should be carefully preserved against devastating events i.e. earthquakes, wind, and fire. Seismic performances of historical structures can be determined with destructive and nondestructive methods. As destructive methods are quite difficult and complex, easier and reliable methods should be used to determine the seismic behaviors of these structures. In this study, the seismic behavior of the historical Lala Mehmet Pasha minaret is investigated by considering Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI). Dynamical properties of the minaret are experimentally obtained with the operational modal analysis (OMA) method and the initial finite element (FE) model is updated. Embedded and SSI models are generated by Abaqus, then linear (LTH) and nonlinear time history (NLTH) analyses are performed. As a result of analyses, displacements, damage, and stress distributions are obtained and interpreted. These analyses show that SSI is quite effective on the structural behavior and results obtained from the nonlinear analysis are more realistic than that of linear analysis.","PeriodicalId":49080,"journal":{"name":"Earthquakes and Structures","volume":"21 1","pages":"161"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42409247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
