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 ...
Spatial seismic modeling of base-isolated buildings pounding against moat walls: effects of ground motion directionality and mass eccentricity
(2017)
Summary Structural impact between adjacent buildings may induce local and, in some extreme cases, severe damage, especially in the case of seismically isolated buildings. This study parametrically investigates in the ...
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 ...
Optimized earthquake response of multi-storey buildings with seismic isolation at various elevations
(2012)
SUMMARY The response of multi-storey structures can be controlled under earthquake actions by installing seismic isolators at various storey levels. By vertically distributing isolation devices at various elevations, the ...
