      NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF ANCIENT MULTI-DRUM COLUMNS WITH EPISTYLES UNDER DYNAMIC LOADINGS 

      Papaloizou, Loizos; Polycarpou, Panayiotis; Komodromos, Petros I. (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 ...
