An efficient methodology for simulating earthquake-induced 3D pounding of buildings
(2014)The current paper presents an efficient methodology for numerically simulating in three dimensions adjacent buildings that may experience pounding during strong earthquakes. In particular, a new approach to the numerical ...

Investigating the seismic response of ancient multi-drum colonnades with two rows of columns using an object-oriented designed software
(2012)A software application, based on the Discrete Element Method (DEM), has been developed, using a modern object-oriented design and programming approach, in order to enable the effective simulation of multi-drum columns and ...

NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF ANCIENT MULTI-DRUM COLUMNS WITH EPISTYLES UNDER DYNAMIC LOADINGS
(International Association for Earthquake Engineering, 2008)In this research work, the Discrete Element Methods (DEM) is utilized to investigate the response of ancient multi-drum columns during harmonic and earthquake excitations by simulating the individual rock blocks as distinct ...

Simulation of the earthquake-induced pounding of seismically isolated buildings
(2008)Seismic isolation can significantly reduce the induced seismic loads to a relatively stiff building by inserting flexibility at its base to avoid resonance with the predominant frequencies of common earthquakes. Sometimes ...

Simulation of the response of ancient columns under harmonic and earthquake excitations
(2008)In this paper, the seismic behavior of ancient monumental structures with monolithic or multi-drum classical columns is investigated. In particular, the Discrete Element Methods (DEM) are utilized in the study of ancient ...
