ASCE 7-16 has provided a comprehensive platform for the performance-based design of tall buildings. The core of the procedure is based on nonlinear response history analysis of the structure subjected to recorded or simulated ground motions. This study investigates consistency in the ASCE 7-16 requirements regarding the use of different types of ground motions. For this purpose performance of a...

This paper presents recent developments in response sensitivity, probabilistic response and reliability analyses of structural and geotechnical systems. These developments are integrated within general-purpose software frameworks for non-linear finite element response analysis and provide the structural engineers with analytical tools to propagate uncertainties through advanced large-scale non-...

In this article, we tried to emphasis in how the range of torsionally stiff and flexible single story buildings works. The designed base was according to provisions of the Canadian standard, 2005 NBCC. The behavior of nonlinear dynamic time history of eight building models subjected to seven horizontal bi-directional ground motions compatible with design spectra are investigated. These models c...

During the last decades, the railway traffic in densely populated areas has increased. At the same time, passenger trains have become faster and freight trains have become heavier. Consequently, trains are an increasing source of ground vibration, which may be a nuisance to people, buildings and sensitive equipment. In this research, a two-dimensional dynamic system, including underground train...

This study aimed to calculate the design earthquake with a harmonic sine wave approach at frequency of 1.5 Hz; 2.5 3.5 4;5 Hz, as well Loma Prieta, Northridge, and Kobe ground motion. In addition, structural response review was also carried out based on comparison effects motion forces. used an experimental method modelling apartment building scale 1: 50. The case located in Mantrijeron, Yogyak...

several practical problems of hypotheses testing can be under a general linear model analysis of variance which would be examined. in analysis of variance, when the response random variable y , has linear relationship with several random variables x, another important model as analysis of covariance can be used. in this paper, assuming that y is fuzzy and using dlr metric, a method for testing ...

Dynamic behavior of ground supported cylindrical storage tanks (CST) is of crucial importance because of its applications in industrial complexes. Seismic behavior of tanks is greatly affected by the height to diameter ratio, fluid height and fluid type. Five CSTs with different height to diameter ratios, three CSTs with the same height and diameters but various fluid heights and one CST with t...
