Assessing the effect of inherent nonlinearities in the analysis and design of a low-rise base isolated steel building
(2013)Seismic isolation is an effective method for the protection of buildings and their contents during strong earthquakes. This research work aims to assess the appropriateness of the linear and nonlinear models that can be ...

Effect of the seismic excitation angle on the dynamic response of adjacent buildings during pounding
(2015)The excitation angle or angle of incidence is the angle in which the horizontal seismic components are applied with respect to the principal structural axes during a time history analysis. In this study, numerical simulations ...

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 ...

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 ...

Article
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 ...

Two-dimensional numerical investigation of the effects of multiple sequential earthquake excitations on ancient multidrum columns
(2016)Ancient monuments of Greek and Roman classical architecture usually consist of multi-drum columns that are constructed of stone blocks placed on top of each other. Several research studies deal with the seismic behaviour ...
