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 ...
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 ...
