Optimization of Soil-Nailing Designs Considering Three Failure Modes

Clock Skew Optimization Considering Compilicated Power Modes

To conserve energy, a design which utilizes different power modes has been widely adopted. However, when a design has many different power modes, clock tree optimization (CTO) becomes very difficult. In this paper, we propose a two-level power-mode-aware CTO methodology. Among all different power modes, the chip-level CTO globally reduces clock skew among modules, whereas the module-level CTO r...

Simulation of Characteristic of Linear Degradation with Failure Modes

SEISMIC OPTIMIZATION OF STEEL MOMENT RESISTING FRAMES CONSIDERING SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION

The main purpose of the present work is to investigate the impact of soil-structure interaction on performance-based design optimization of steel moment resisting frame (MRF) structures. To this end, the seismic performance of optimally designed MRFs with rigid supports is compared with that of the optimal designs with a flexible base in the context of performance-based design. Two efficient me...

MULTI–OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION OF TUNED MASS DAMPERS CONSIDERING SOIL–STRUCTURE INTERACTION

Tuned  mass  dampers  (TMDs)  are  as  a  efficient  control  tool  in  order  to  reduce  undesired vibrations  of  tall  buildings  and  large–span  bridges  against  lateral  loads  such  as  wind  and earthquake. Although many researchers has been...

Investigating Stabilized Excavations Using Soil Nailing Method in Urban Context

There are various methods for stabilizing excavations in urban areas which one of them is the nailing method. Designing a nailing system and analyzing the performance of excavations is done by various software applications. One of these computer programs is PAXIS software which run based on the finite element method (FEM). In the present study, a numerical analysis of the performance of t...
