Reliable predictions of seismic structural damages are of essential importance in earthquake engineering. In order to make proper and effective decisions in post-earthqua [...]

Seismic excitations are one of the most hazardous loading encounters during structure's lifetime. It has been observed that increased strength and stable energy dissipati [...]

Power series approximation is used to solve the problem of linear vibration and stability of a non-prismatic Timoshenko beam with variable geometric parameters, resting o [...]

In this paper, buckling load of Non-Prismatic members is computed using energy method. In this regard, exact natural frequencies for the non prismatic column member have [...]

The concept of Buckling Restrained Braced Frames is relatively new and recently their use has increased in many countries. However, detailed design provisions for this ty [...]

The response of a fixed offshore tower is greatly affected by nonlinear behavior of the supporting piles. Pile-Soil-Structure Interaction (PSSI) can significantly affect [...]

The exploitation for offshore oil has become increasingly widespread in the past decades. Steel offshore platforms are commonly constructed to accommodate operation facil [...]
