The main goal of this research is the performance evaluation sampled moment-resisting steel structure against 3D simulated blast loading. In first stage present research, numerically wave verified by comparing with relevant renowned numerical and experimental previous researches. second stage, sensitivity blast-induced pressure to finite element mesh size surrounding air cube dimensions are inv...

Eccentric structures will have torsional vibrations subjected to earthquakes, which can accelerate the damage of structures, and even become main cause building collapse. Semi-active control systems equipped with multiple magnetorheological (MR) dampers been widely applied in structural vibration control. In this study, numerical models spatial eccentric MR were established, time history analys...

The effects of long duration ground motions on the seismic performance a newly constructed two-storey balloon-type cross-laminated timber (CLT) building located in Vancouver, Canada, was studied. A three-dimensional numerical model developed OpenSees. connection and shear wall models were validated with test data. Twenty-four pairs short records approximately same amplitude, frequency content, ...

The seismic safety of existing building stock has become a very critical issue in recent years, mainly earthquake-prone South Europe where most the buildings were designed before enforcement standards. Therefore, concept, development and testing efficient cost-effective retrofitting technologies are nowadays strongly needed, both for society scientific community. This study deals with assessmen...

Liquefaction is a disaster that can damage building infrastructure. This all too common in granular sandy soils. due to the subsidence and instability of soil when subjected shocks such as earthquakes. For this reason, mitigation efforts are needed reduce risk liquefaction. study will compare effectiveness influence micro-pile, stone column, densification methods on soils at Central Java PLTU s...

In order to address the difficulty in determining seismic damage probability of continuous girder bridges under construction, vulnerability analysis method construction state is proposed this study. Firstly, taking a long-span prestressed concrete composite box bridge with corrugated steel webs (OSW) as an example, finite element models (FEMs) dynamic calculation different phases cantilever are...

This paper investigates the seismic performance of Intermediate Moment-Resisting Steel Frame structures considering effects height and soil-structure interaction. For this purpose, three 3D 3, 6 9-story were designed using CSI ETABS software in accordance with ASCE7-16. Then 2D frames simulated by OpenSEES to account for nonlinearity material, plastic hinge elements used. The analyzed IDA metho...

The corrosion of steel reinforcement negatively influences the mechanical performance reinforced concrete (RC) elements reducing both their strength capacity and ductility. Especially in seismic prone areas, degradation cyclic behavior corroded RC is more intense, limiting service life structures leading to premature failures. In present paper, order study degraded embedded (in concrete) under ...

Centrifuge modelling is an effective tool to assess the response of reduced-scale structures subjected earthquakes under increased gravity. Space limitations, however, force model be contained within relatively small boxes, whose boundaries may affect seismic performance structure consideration. In this paper, influence proximity equivalent shear beam (ESB) container during dynamic centrifuge t...

Global level assumptions of numerical models have received relatively less attention, but been indicated to be a major source error in modeling Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures. In parallel, it has stated that statistical approach involving many virgin specimens and ground motions is necessary for model validation. Such an would require very small-scale testing. Then, the reinforcement fabri...
