Several extensions of the first book1 are included here. The first article is on the soil-structure interaction problem. The reduction of an original soil-structure interaction model into a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) model enables the application of the original theory for an SDOF model to such complicated soil-structure interaction model. The second article is concerned with the extension of the original theory for an SDOF model to a 2DOF model. Since the simple application of the original theory for an SDOF model to a multi-degree-of-freedom model is difficult due to out-of-phase phenomenon of multiple masses, a convex model theory is introduced and an upper bound of elastic-plastic response is derived. The third article is related to the stability problem of structures (collapse problems of structures) in which the P-delta effect is included. It is shown that the original theory for an SDOF model with elastic-perfectly plastic restoring-force characteristic can be applied to a model with negative second slope. The fourth article is an application of the energy balance approach to an overturning limit problem of rigid blocks. A closed-form expression of the overturning limit of rigid blocks is derived for the first time after the Housner's pioneering work in 1963. The approach presented in this book, together with the first book, is an epoch-making accomplishment to open the door for simpler and deeper understanding of structural reliability of built environments in the elastic-plastic and nonlinear range.Critical Earthquake Response of Elastic-Plastic Structures and Rigid Blocks under Near-Fault Ground MotionsHistory of engineering and technologybicssccritical excitation methodCritical responsedouble impulseDuctility factorearthquake engineeringEarthquake input energyEarthquake ResponseElastic-plastic responseEnergy transfer functionfling-step inputforward-directivity inputGround motionInterval analysisLong-duration ground motionMultiple impulseNear-fault ground motionredundancyresonancerobustnessStructural parametertriple impulseuncertaintyUpper bound of input energyHistory of engineering and technologyIzuru Takewakiauth1278070BOOK9910166644503321Critical Earthquake Response of Elastic-Plastic Structures and Rigid Blocks under Near-Fault Ground Motions: Closed-Form Approach via Double Impulse3040451UNINA
