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 ...

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 ...
