Most seismic design codes provide formulas for estimating base shear and lateral loads. To determine lateral loads, the building's fundamental vibration period must be calculated, either theoretically or experimentally. However, there is…
The soil mechanic laboratory results help in accurate soil foundation design and enhancement failure mitigation. The mixing soil design has been used in many geotechnical engineering for soil improvement. In this paper, several types of…
The study explores the feasibility of a new all-steel buckling restrained brace (BRB) with the double pre-tensioning system as an alternative to conventional concentrically braced frames by using finite element method (ABAQUS program), And…
This paper proposes a methodology to evaluate and optimize the dynamic response of tall buildings under wind loading, controlled through semi-active Magneto-Rheological dampers (MR dampers). For this, a tall building, modeled as a 2D…
Earthquakes can cause vibration problems in many types of structures, generating large displacements. The interstory drift is a design criterion very used in seismic analysis and the structural control is an alternative to reduce these…
The design of concrete elevated water tanks involves several kinds of uncertainties. Traditionally, the design of these structures is based on a deterministic analysis. Partial safety factors prescribed in design codes are applied to take…
TThe supports of out-of-plane loaded unreinforced masonry walls in buildings are subjected to a motion that is filtered and amplified by the building structure and, in some cases, can be significantly different from the ground motion.…
Ground steel storage tanks are widely used in different industries. Regarding the significance of these structures, ensuring the proper performance of such structures in earthquakes needs evaluating their seismic performance. The present…
Wavelet transforms are efficient tools for structural health monitoring (SHM) and damage detection. However, these methods are encountered with some limitations in practice. Thus, signal energy analysis is used as an alternative technique…
Cracks in clayey soil cause a reduction in the seismic loading capacity which can lead to structural failures. Seismic acceleration is the primary cause of crack propagation and damage to the earth's structure. This study investigated the…
Unreinforced masonry is the most diffused construction material in the major part of historical centers in Europe. In a building subjected to earthquake forces the contribution of in-plane shear resistance of the masonry walls is a…
