The behavior of a four-story steel special moment frame (SMF) subjected to various levels of seismic excitation is investigated computationally. The frame employs deep co [...]

An evolutionarily coupled finite element and meshfree formulation was developed in a previous study [1]. The formulation affords a novel capability to compute the respons [...]

Numerous computational studies have been reported on the simulation of ExternallyBonded (EB) Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP)-to-concrete joints. However, these computation [...]

A new type of energy dissipation device, lead viscoelastic damper(LVD), was introduced, and the principle, configuration, characteristics of LVD are illustrated.The LVD, [...]

In this paper, the soil-structure finite element model of DAKAI subway station damaged in 1995 KOBE earthquake was built by two dimensional plane strain element, in full [...]

Not only in daily living, but also in seismic rescuing, water-supply system is one of the most important lifeline systems; its performance plays an key role on the post-e [...]

Small shaking table tests were carried out to study the liquefiability of the sandy soil by monitoring the pore pressure during and after the shaking in the model foundat [...]

This paper introduces a scheme to retrofit seismically deficient reinforced concrete (RC) columns or piers with square section is proposed that using prestressed steel pl [...]
