TL;DR: The National Strong Motion Observation Network System (NSMONS) as discussed by the authors consists of permanent free-field stations, special observation arrays, mobile observatories and a network management system.

TL;DR: The National Strong Motion Observation Network System (NSMONS) of China as mentioned in this paper was built to improve the number and density of strong-motion observation stations in mainland China, which was seriously behind the number in the United States, Japan, Iran, and Mexico prior to the year 2000 (Xie et al. 2006; Zhou 2006; Nozu 2004).

TL;DR: In this paper, a new shell finite element method with an equivalent boundary is presented for estimating the response of a buried pipeline under large fault movement, where the material property of pipe segment far away from the fault is considered as elastic, and nonlinear spring elements at equivalent boundaries are obtained and applied to two ends of shell model.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of testing cases of the shaking tables were carried out on the model soil site and tunnel using input motions with different earthquake acceleration records and seismic amplitudes.

TL;DR: Based on the parallel computing cluster platform of the ABAQUS software, a large scale 2D finite-element refined nonlinear modeling approach was used to study seismic site effects in the Fuzhou basin, such as peak ground acceleration (PGA), spectral acceleration, duration, and acceleration transfer functions as mentioned in this paper.
