The phrase "aftershock collapsed" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It may be intended to describe a situation where something has collapsed as a result of an aftershock, but it lacks clarity and proper grammatical structure.
Example: "The building was severely damaged, and the aftershock collapsed what remained of the structure."
Alternatives: "aftershock caused a collapse" or "collapse due to aftershock".
The results are analyzed in terms of aftershock collapse capacity, collapse fragility, and collapse capacity at demolition.
This study explores the aftershock collapse performance of steel buildings designed with superelastic viscous dampers (SVDs) under seismic sequences.
Of the three types of predictors, those related to observable physical damage to key structural components produced the most accurate and stable estimates of aftershock collapse vulnerability.
This paper describes statistical models for estimating aftershock collapse vulnerability of buildings using mainshock intensity, structural response and physical damage indicators.
The study reveals that the SMRF has increased vulnerability to aftershocks when higher damages are induced during mainshock, while the aftershock collapse performance of the SVD frame is not affected from the intensity of mainshock event.
We demonstrate that the time-varying aftershock threat can be transformed to an equivalent constant collapse rate for a mainshock-damaged building by considering the total expected number of aftershock collapse events in the time interval of interest and a 'social discount factor', typically taken to be from 3%to5%5%.
China's state-run news agency today said 420,000 houses had collapsed in aftershocks from the Sichuan earthquake.
It also said there were reports that some people who had fled to a recently built church in nearby Tarlay were killed when the church collapsed following an aftershock.
The Castello delle Rocche in the town was also damaged while a clock tower was split down the middle, with one side disintegrating into rubble before the remaining side collapsed during an aftershock.
"Our house was badly damaged and collapsed completely with the aftershock.
