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 ...
A nonlinear impact model for simulating the use of rubber shock absorbers for mitigating the effects of structural pounding during earthquakes
(2013)
SUMMARY During strong earthquakes, structural poundings may occur between adjacent buildings because of the limited separation distance and the deformations of their stories. A potential mitigation measure for this problem ...
An efficient methodology for simulating earthquake-induced 3D pounding of buildings
(2014)
The current paper presents an efficient methodology for numerically simulating in three dimensions adjacent buildings that may experience pounding during strong earthquakes. In particular, a new approach to the numerical ...
Non-linear base and shaft reaction models for 1-D pile driving analysis
(19th ICSMGE Secretariat, 2017)
Simulation of pile driving is frequently used in present design practice to study pile drivability and to estimate pile static capacity based on driving data. The accuracy of both drivability analysis and static resistance ...
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 ...
