We will propose a new model of earthquakes by taking into account three basic processes; the accumulation of strains, the propagation of ruptures and the recovering process of crust's rigidity, where the nucleation length is proportional to the rupture size and the energy distribution obeys the inve
Non-linear seismic soil-structure interaction is studied through a hybrid procedure using the pseudo-dynamic testing (PDT) method which is modified to take into account frequency dependence and developed for foundation-soil systems. The numerical scheme used in conventional PDT is improved by introd
A new critical excitation method is developed for soil-structure interaction systems. In contrast to previous studies considering amplitude nonstationarity only, no special constraint of input motions is needed on nonstationarity. The input energy to the soil-structure interaction system during an e
