[ 1 ] - Seismic Vulnerability Assesment of Jacket Type Offshore Platforms

Most of oil and gas offshore platforms are located in the seismic regains. So, Seismic vulnerability evaluation of the offshore platforms is one of the most important and vital issues in the structural systems. In this study, jacket type offshore platforms are studied by incorporating the pushover analyses and nonlinear time history analyses, in such a way that, first some push over analyses ar...

[ 2 ] - Optimum Structural Design with Discrete Variables Using League Championship Algorithm

In this paper a league championship algorithm (LCA) is developed for structural optimization where the optimization variables are of discrete type and the set of the values possibly obtained by each variable is also given. LCA is a relatively new metaheuristic algorithm inspired from sport championship process. In LCA, each individual can choose to approach to or retreat from other individuals ...

[ 3 ] - Comparison of Seismic Input Energy Based on the Characteristics of Structural Hysteretic Behavior

The variation of earthquake input energy with characteristics of various structural systems, particularly in hysteretic states, has not been studied to such extent that creates enough con-fidence for proposing energy-based design criteria. In this paper, at first, based on a somehow new insight into the concept of earthquake input energy, two concepts of ‘Received Energy’ (ERec) and ‘Returned E...

[ 4 ] - بررسی حرکت گهواره‌ای در ساختمان‌های بتنی دارای سیستم دوگانه قاب خمشی با دیوار برشی

معمولا در طراحی ساختمان‌ها، فونداسیون به صورت صلب فرض می‌شود و نوع خاک و تاثیری که می‌تواند بر انعطاف‌پذیری شالوده داشته باشد، به صورت مستقیم در مدلسازی‌ها اعمال نمی‌شود. این در حالیست که در نظر گرفتن اندرکنش بین خاک و سازه می‌تواند پاسخ سازه را تحت تاثیر قرار دهد. از سویی امروزه دیوارهای برشی به صورت گسترده‌ای در ساختمانهای بتنی بکار برده می‌شوند. هنگامی که این دیوارها تحت تأثیر زلزله‌های شدید...
