This study aims primarily to perform a comparative analysis of the seismic response soil profile, in time and frequency domains, order evaluate subjected excitation. After few remarks made on responses given by linear elasticity method for this type problem, it was considered necessary use SHAKE 2000 PLAXIS study. The obtained results were then compared with those available theoretical predicti...

The useful and efficient method of Finite Element (FEM) has a drawback for dynamic analysis of complex structures, especially in the medium and high frequency range. To overcome this fundamental difficulty, application of Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) and power flow technique has been suggested. As the SEA is based on the average response of structure and statistical properties of its reson...

a study on the evaluating equivalent damping and response modification factors of frames equipped by pall friction dampers is presented. to do so, buildings with various stories were considered. nonlinear and linear dynamic time history analysis has been performed to evaluate equivalent damping for pall friction dampers. ground motions with various frequency characteristics scaled with iranian ...
