Abstract The modern design and construction of buildings have led to the adoption irregular shapes which can attract large seismic forces induce stress concentrations in building itself. To investigate this fact a number research studies been carried out. This study presents review summary performance considering vertical irregularity subjected earthquake loadings. be found by using linear nonl...

Seismic isolation systems for buildings design are not as popular in the seismically active developing countries they developed ones. Several factors contribute to this, namely lack of knowledge on benefits seismic systems, unfamiliarity with procedure, and absence relevant building codes that provide guideline using system such countries. Recently, Indonesian code has been updated included str...

Quantifying and propagating uncertainties in structural response is critical to robust performance-based seismic assessments. This paper evaluates the influence of model parameter uncertainty on limit state assessment controlled rocking steel braced frames (CRSBFs). The dead load frame, fuse yield strength, initial post-tension (PT) force strength frame elements are random variables considered....

An optimal semi-active Cuckoo- Fuzzy algorithm is developed to drive the hydraulic semi-active damper for effective control of the dynamic deformation of building structures under earthquake loadings, in this paper. Hydraulic semi-active dampers (MR dampers) are semi active control devices that are managed by sending external voltage supply. A new adaptive fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is introd...

Fling-step and forward directivity are two important characteristics of near-field earthquakes. Forward directivity occurs when the rupture propagates toward the site and arises in fault‐normal direction for strike‐slip faults. Fling-step is the consequence of permanent ground displacement imposed by near-field earthquakes and arises in strike-slip faults in the strike parallel direction. Fling...

In Japan, excavated soils generated from construction sites in urban areas are being disposed tolandfill as industrial waste. With limited land big cities, the landfill will be more and scarceand overload state next few years. Therefore, effective use of soil is anurgent issue. Liquefied Stabilized Soil (LSS) one methods using withconstruction works, has become popular Japan. Numerous previous ...

the present article is an attempt to review the syrian short storyfrom the period between 1931 to 1947 and its development. syrian short stories in this period are affected by cultural, political and historical events.
