subject to

When the quasi-isolated bridge is subjected to strong ground motions, damage and failure of the fuse-like sacrificial connections are expected to limit the superstructure inertia force that can be transferred down to substructures and foundations, dissipate seismic energy, and elongate structural periods, thereby protecting bridge substructures and foundations from severe damage and failure.

My new start here

 Hey,  nice to meet you guys. I'm from china, I was born in a small city Wuxi which is an important part of Jiangsu Province. If you don't know Jiangsu, then you must know Shanghai,  and my hometown is near Shanghai.  I worked in a company as an intern  for several months after I graduated from Jiangsu University in China. The work makes me boring, because every day was almost the same, so I decided to study abroad to start a new life. That's why I'm here in Japan. I'm now living in Kumamoto city, which is really a beautiful city. And I major in Structural mechanics about bridges in Kumamoto University.  Last year, a strong earthquake happened in Kumamoto, several bridges was damaged. Now, my work is using FEM (Finite Element Method) to do some analysis.

Review of "The Lost Cup"

Review:  "The lost cup" is an intresting book. It contains several stories. One of them I read is about a hero who devoted his life to look for the lost cup.  John and the hero are detectives. Then one day John called his and told that he got an old man called Sergio who konws where is the cup which is stole. So, hero went to meet John and the old man in Rio. However, on the way getting the cup, the old man was shot. In the hospital, the old men told them they have to meet King. Then we went to Maracana Stadium to find King. There, the hero sacrificed his life and saved the King of Soccer. Ito, L. (2014). The Lost Cup. Florida and Tokyo: Atama-ii Books

Citing other authors

Examples verbs     name       year     Since Yao (1972) firstly proposed/claimed/believed the concept of structural vibration control, a series of energy dissipation mechanical devices and dampers, collectively known as the structural protecting system, have been developed. MYDs, proposed by Kelly (1972) were initially introduced as passive control devices in structural engineering. Silva (2004) proposed a total probability formula in the frequency domain to calculate the dynamic response of a highway bridge. In this regard, the classic continuum model for the linear vertical vibration of suspension bridges, based on the so called linearized deflection theory, was first proposed by Bleich et al . (1950) , and Steinman (1935) , who derived some formulas for computing natural frequencies and mode shapes, and recently reviewed by Luco and Turmo (2010 ) .
