Abstract A numerical study is performed on the structure-soil-structure interaction (SSSI) between high-rise buildings. ANSYS has been further developed for calculation in frequency domain, which hysteretic damping can be considered both soil and structures. This presented two subsequent papers. The first part[1] focuses influence of SSSI each kind dynamic response, while second part, i.e., thi...

A tuned mass damper (TMD) is a vibration control system used to reduce the structural responses earthquakes and extreme wind loads. The performance of TMD depends on its parameters, such as mass, damping coefficient, stiffness. Therefore, several methods have been proposed optimize parameters TMDs. This paper proposes new method for optimizing TMDs' using Mouth Brooding Fish (MBF) algorithm bas...

This paper presents first a valid, fully non-linear 2-D numerical model that can capture realistically the in-plane hysteretic behaviour of reinforced concrete (R/C) frames with masonry infills when they are subjected to combined vertical and cyclic horizontal loads in order to predict their post-elastic earthquake bahaviour. The effectiveness of this simulation was validated by comparing the n...

Structural members can be damaged from earthquakes or deterioration. The finite element (FE) model of a structure should updated to reflect the damage conditions. If stiffness reduction is ignored, analysis results will unreliable. Conventional FE updating techniques measure response with accelerometers update model. However, only where sensor installed. This paper introduces new computer-visio...

minimalist story is a kind of very short story that is summarized sometimes in some lines and sometimes in one page. it tells a short event and in addition includes deep contents.studying verses of holy quran we can see stories in different forms and lengths. meanwhile there are some storiesthat are not more than some lines in lengthso it is possible for the researcher to evaluate these stories...

In allegories polysemy relates not only to the context and the audience’s understanding but also to the structural characters of these texts. This paper investigates the function of structural and narrative properties in the creation of multiple interpretations of an allegory. Focusing on the events and following a unique story-line is the most important trait in helping to read the alleg...
