Reinforced Concrete (R/C) buildings with masonry infills are amongst the most common structural systems in many countries with regions of high seismicity. The infill walls are usually considered as non-structural elements and, thus, are... more
This Steel Technical Information and Product Services (Steel TIPS) report focuses on providing information to steel fabricators, detailers and structural engineers on detailing gusset plates in special concentrically braced frames.... more
Seismic provision of all types of structures is of paramount importance in regions defined by medium and high seismic hazard. This is all the more true in the case of steel storage tanks, as these often contain toxic, flammable and... more
The expected seismic losses of structures with Rotational Friction Dampers (RFDs) are assessed by the Endurance Time (ET) method considering the optimal frictional moment of the devices. A practical method is proposed to obtain the... more
Due to the severe environmental condition, steel jacket type offshore platforms are highly vulnerable to damage; so, ensuring its proper performance and detection of probable damage is very important and undeniable. The assessment of... more
The aim of this paper is to analyze the sensitivity of the base shear force to the randomness of the structure natural period and epicentral distance. To this end, several reinforced concrete buildings (6, 9 and 12 storey), with different... more
System testing is concerned with testing an entire system based on its specifications. In the context of object-oriented, UML development, this means that system test requirements are derived from UML analysis artifacts such as use cases,... more
Today, larger part of designs around us are built up concrete cement (RCC) outlined constructions. To forestall harm because of quake there is a need to foster powerful procedure to expand the strength and flexibility of elevated... more
Lo studio di Arquata del Tronto, finalizzato alla ricostruzione virtuale dello stato antecedente gli eventi sismici, è stato sviluppato grazie al contributo di un gruppo interdisciplinare1 e secondo un processo che è partito... more
In the analysis and design of framed structures, the traditional methods are based on the simplified assumption that the joints are completely either pinned or rigid. However, the experimental investigations show that the frame... more
This study presents the experimental and analytical investigations carried out on high-strength concrete beam-column joints with Grade 700 longitudinal bars in beams and columns. Seven full-scale interior RC beam-column joints with... more
The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Cultural Center, houses both the National Opera and National Library of Greece. The structural design had to accommodate demanding architectural requirements as well as high performance seismic... more
Abstrak.Kejadian gempa dirasakan sering terjadi di wilayah Indonesia bagian timur yang ditimbulkan oleh interaksi tatanan tektonik yang kompleks. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan dan korelasi nilai intensitas gempa yang... more
At areas subjected to earthquake activity, strategic and vital underground structures should be designed to withstand both seismic and permanent loadings. This study aims to investigate the seismic interaction between tunnels and the... more
The seismic analysis and design of buildings has traditionally focused in reducing the risk of loss of life in the largest expected earthquake. Building codes have based their provisions on the historic performance of buildings and their... more
The city of Ahmedabad of Gujarat in western India suffered severe damage during the 2001 M w 7.7 Bhuj earthquake, despite being ∼250 km away from the epicenter. Similar damage patterns were also reported during the 1819 Allah Bund... more
Shear wall and Steel bracing systems are most widely used in medium to high rise buildings to provide stiffness, strength and energy dissipation required to resist lateral load imposed by earthquakes and wind. In the past shear wall and... more
'La Cité des Enfants Perdus' Filmindeki Mekanların Sinematografik Açıdan Mimari Analizi [2005]
Present paper attempts to summarize the theory of the non-linear force-displacement behavior of pile foundations, and the different non-linear t-z, q-z and p-y models suggested by various authors and design codes. The distant aim of the... more
