Soft Soil Seismic Design Spectra Including Soil-structure Interaction

Design spectrum is known as an essential tool in earthquake engineering for calculation of maximum (design) responses in a structural system. Soil-structure interaction (SSI), as a phenomenon of coupling of responses of a structure and its underlying soil, was explored after introduction of design spectra and has not been taken into account in developing a design spectrum traditionally. To cons...

Résumé of Master’s Thesis Schanuel’s Conjecture and Exponential Fields

In recent years, Schanuel’s Conjecture has played an important role in Transcendental Number Theory as well as decidability problems in Model Theory. The connection between these two areas was made by Boris Zilber in [5]. This project firstly gives an introduction to exponential fields, in particular to the complex exponential field Cexp, and secondly exhibits various applications of Schanuel’s...

The Perturbation Flow Field Associated With Passage of Turbulent Spot (RESEARCH NOTE)

The flow field associated with the passage of the turbulent spot in a 3–D duct with streamline divergence under zero pressure gradients was investigated and displayed as contour plots of the velocity perturbation in plan and elevation view of the spot. It suggests that, streamline divergence has no strong effect on the internal structure of the spot and eddies and their propagation in the downs...

Investigation and Analysis of Empirical Field Seismic Damage to Bottom Frame Seismic Wall Masonry Structure

To understand the seismic damage characteristics of bottom frame-wall buildings and to study their seismic performance, the seismic damage outcomes of  bottom frame-wall structures in Du jiang weir by the Wen chuan earthquake on May 12,2008, China were field observed and studied. The assesment of the seismic damage to the bottom frame-wall masonry in Du jiang weir urban showed that the damage t...
