Abstract. This study presents an original inelastic beam-like model for the simulation of nonlinear dynamic behaviour three-dimensional buildings subjected to earthquake loadings. The proposed is defined as a step-wise shear only cantilever beam, whose segments have same mechanical properties corresponding inter-storeys building. inter-storey constitutive laws are calibrated by means results st...

The effect of wind and earthquake on the structures can be specified briefly by horizontal forces act varied in its value direction depending location distance from sea case load seismic activity region an earthquake. These conflict concept with structural stability structure. Most designer engineers adopted vertical only design calculations neglecting based opinion that are not effective. This...

according to the experiences gathered from pre- earthquakes & revising the rules of design bylaws the subject of reinforcing the present buildings is important nowadays. this project investigates the usage of quake system on wind- occlusion as one of the most efficient ways of shaking development in small, steel buildiongs.including important matters in studying the usage of these systems is su...

The behavior of steel plate walls (SPWs) under various impulsive loadings and the effects of different mesh sizes are investigated in this paper. With the aim of accurately inspecting SPWs, a series of analyses with 250 models with different plate geometric assumptions and different blast impulsive loadings are performed to study the SPWs’ out-of-plane behavior. The mild steel material specific...

Background and Objectives: On 12 November 2017, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 on the Richter scale occurred in Kermanshah Province. Explaining the challenges and needs of the victims in such circumstances can be an important source of information for future planning and better management of such conditions. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explain the challenges and needs of the e...

Burj Khalifa, a notable landmark in growing landscape of skyscrapers, along with other tall structures, has dramatically transformed the morphology Dubai and elevated it to global prominence. This masterpiece was designed attract international interest, as diversifies economy from an oil-based one towards that is tourist-and servicebased. However, foremost design input major challenges super-ta...

introduction: despite advances in science and technology, still some natural hazards such as earthquakes cannot be predicted accurately. however, with appropriate knowledge, accurate planning and necessary predictions, we can decrease the mortality and financial losses of such disasters. therefore, attitude and preparedness of healthcare managers toward earthquake can have an important role in ...

wind erosion climatic factor is a measure of climatic factors explaining the wind erosion erosivity. humidity and wind speed are climatic characteristics that must be considered as the erosion parameters. in this study, linear moment analysis (l-moments) and wind erosion climatic factor were used to evaluate the regional climate’s tendency effect on wind erosion in yazd province. wind erosion c...

objective: to determine the type and pattern of arrhythmic events following the 2012 ahar-varzegan earthquake among patients implanted with cardiac defibrillators (icds) in east azarbaijan province. methods: in a prospective cohort study, conducted in east azerbaijan province of iran, 132 patients were enrolled in two comparison groups according to the region of residence i.e., earthquake regio...
