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 ...

On poundings of a seismically isolated building with adjacent structures during strong earthquakes
(2010)This paper presents selected indicative results from an extensive parametric investigation that has been performed in order to assess the effects of potential earthquake-induced poundings on the overall dynamic response ...

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 ...
