In this study, the seismic behavior of isolated- and fixed-base regular irregular reinforced concrete structures was investigated. For purpose, a three-dimensional, eight-story reference building model without any irregularity designed in accordance with Turkish Building Earthquake Code (TBEC-2018). Later, models irregularities were created using model. isolators fixed supports, fiber hinges us...

The Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) represents a promising design approach to assess the performance and post-earthquake load carrying capacity of steel frames. Generally, only maximum transient inter-story drift is considered as damage intensity measure (DM), when IDA carried out. In Authors' opinion, better appraise all aspects characterizing state structures, additional DMs should be cons...

Construction of building omitting an infill wall mostly in ground floor and other floors has led a to face soft story failure mechanism. This omission is for commercial purposes parking vehicles floor. In this study, study on the behavior structure done when happens different levels. A explained as per NBC 201 205 taken into consideration. Soft assigned all responses separately. An equivalent d...

Frame structures equipped with steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) have been widely used in high-rise buildings due to their good seismic performance. In this study, the strip model and combined were analyze performance of SPSWs. Furthermore, an improved genetic algorithm (IGA) was established optimize frame for 5, 10, 20 stories. For each layer, layout optimization conducted determine best configu...

Precast prestreesed concrete braces are a new method for seismic strength of Concrete Structures which has the following benefits: a) no wet concrete work in construction site b) No bolt or anchorage to the existing frame c) easy to apply d) short construction period e) low construction cost, to evaluate seismic performance of strengthened structure a model consist of existing frame and concret...

Supporting Information Identifiability for the One-Choice Diffusion Model There is an identifiability issue in the one-choice model. The essence of the issue is that boundary setting, drift rate, and standard deviation (SD) in drift rate are highly correlated. For these parameters, different starting values for the program that fits the model to data can yield different best-fitting parameter e...
