In this paper, the initiation and propagation of structural damage in a building due to the truck collision to one of its corner columns were investigated. For this purpose, a three-dimensional 4-story moment resisting steel frame with intermediate ductility was considered. The structure was designed using ETABS software under standard dead, live, and earthquake loads, and then impact loading w...

The current study aims to investigate damage assessment of the RC frames with brick masonry infill (BMI). effects near-source ground motions (GMs) are considerably predominant in seismic response structure as related far-source motion due their forward directivity plus long period. is characterized by enormous everlasting translation, strong peak acceleration (PGA), and a very low-frequency pul...

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the nonlinear dynamic response of rigid and semi-rigid steel frames under Far-Fault Earthquake Records. Accordingly, the fragility curve of the moment frames with rigid and semi-rigid connections was determined. Considering the analytical knowledge of structures in the past, the analysis and design of steel frames based on the assumptions of rigid or...
