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 ...
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 ...
