RESIDUAL SEISMIC CAPACITY EVALUATION OF OVERALL WEAK-BEAM RC FRAME BASED ON ENERGY ABSORPTION CAPACITY

measurement the absorption capacity of solar energy storage technology

Although solar energy is one of the most important renewable energies in Iran that most areas of the country, especially the Central Desert, have considerable ability to use, but the random nature of this type of energy makes it difficult to predict its output power and may cause problems in the performance of the feed systems. For this reason, the use of energy storage systems for periods of l...

Damage Measures for Performance-based Seismic Evaluation of Rc Frame Structures

In performance-based earthquake engineering, deformation based methods such as member plastic rotation and inter-story drift ratio are recommended in guideline documents such as FEMA-356 for evaluating structural performance. Such response quantities, however, don’t provide insight into the state of damage in the structure. Yet, damage at a certain local level in the system can result in unexpe...

Seismic Bearing Capacity of Strip Footings on Pile-Stabilized Slopes

This paper develops an analytical method to calculate seismic bearing capacity of a strip footing, which is located on a slope reinforced with rows of pile. The resistance of passive pile is determined based on normal and shear stress of the soil around the pile, which is then compared to other analytical methods. This comparison indicates an acceptable agreement. The variants of the study incl...

Experimental and Numerical Study of Energy Absorption Capacity of Glass Reinforced SCC Beams

Various experimental studies have been carried out on glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC), but in limited studies, the behavior of this type of concrete is evaluated using finite element method (FEM). In this study an analysis model is presented for predicting energy absorption capacity of glass fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete (GFRCSCC) beams and the results are compared with exper...
