Near field ground motions are different from ordinary ground motions in that they often contain strong coherent dynamic long period pulses and permanent ground displaceme [...]

Manjil is an important city in Gilan province in Iran. It has experienced one of the largest earthquakes in Iran on 21 June 1990 with magnitude of Ms = 7.7 Richter that c [...]

The aim of this research is to use Genetic Algorithm in optimal design of reinforced concrete frames. During design of structures, different parameters like stress in mem [...]

Capacity of energy dissipation of shear link as a source of energy dissipation in reinforced concrete (RC) building rehabilitated using eccentric steel bracing is investi [...]

For earthquake resistant design of critical structures, a dynamic analysis, either response spectrum or time history is frequently required. Owing to the lack of recorded [...]

Assessment of the behavior of structures during recent earthquakes indicates that much damage has happened to the buildings including those designed according to the engi [...]

In this paper, the use of wavelet analysis and artificial neural networks for generating artificial earthquake accelerograms from the target spectra is suggested as a new [...]
