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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Disorder considerations in resource-constrained scheduling
A method is presented for allocating resources to construction activities and for scheduling construction projects under resource constraints by considering the effects that such resource limitations may have on the tendency ...
