Concentrically braced frames and eccentrically braced frames are efficient seismic resistant systems but they are generally prone to develop storey collapse mechanisms. As underlined in some previous papers with regard to eccentrically braced frames, this tendency depends on the overstrength factors and damage distribution capacity factors resulting from the use of common design procedures. In ...

The assessment of rocking response is a challenging task due to its high nonlinearity. present study investigates two methodologies evaluate finite rotations and overturn three typical systems. In particular, fuzzy linear regression (FLR) with triangular numbers hybrid model combining logistic logic were adopted. To this end, structures considered, nonlinear time history analyses performed obta...

Abstract In this study, the effects of selection and scaling procedures earthquake records on dispersion seismic response structures are examined. This is according to Standard No. 2800 code ASCE code. So that during two case studies, seven earthquakes have been selected scaled with spectral acceleration 2800. Besides, a reinforced concrete (RC) bridge 7-story RC building evaluated against eart...

As a result of wind power’s expansion over the globe, offshore turbines (OWTs) are being projected in seismic prone areas. In parallel, industry develops increasingly larger and more powerful generators. Many response analyses conducted so far only consider smaller units. this paper, finite element substructuring model frequency domain is used to compute four reference OWTs from 5 15 MW founded...

This paper is aimed at giving structural designers guidance on how to make use of elastic site-specific response spectra for the dynamic modal analysis a structure in support its design. The pushover an RC building forming part non-linear static procedure (that can be used predict seismic demand without relying code-stipulated default R factor) also presented. Seismic structures based help achi...

The use of an accelerometer is considered as a promising method for the automatic measurement feeding behavior or feed intake cattle, with great significance in facilitating daily management. To address further need commercial use, efficient classification algorithm at low sample frequency needed to reduce amount recorded data increase battery life monitoring device, and high-precision model ne...
