The dam-reservoir system is divided into the near field modeled by the finite element method, and the far field modeled by the excellent high-order doubly asymptotic open boundary DAOB . Direct and partitioned coupled methods are developed for the analysis of dam-reservoir system. In the direct coupled method, a symmetric monolithic governing equation is formulated by incorporating the DAOB wit...

Modeling Steel Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) behavior can be computationally demanding. This is especially true when high-fidelity modeling carried out via shell or 3D solid elements. It has been shown that SPSW captured with adequate accuracy through the strip method nonlinear truss elements idealization. The widely accepted and reliable analysis platform, OpenSees, requires text-based input (.tcl) ...

Nowadays' earthquake engineering is coping with the challenging task of providing low-cost seismic resilient structures. Among others, a viable solution for Steel Moment Resisting Frames (MRFs) based on use Self-Centering Damage-Free (SCDF) joints at Column Bases (CBs) and Beam-to-Column Joints (BCJs), ensuring both energy dissipation capacity self-centering behavior structure. Past studies dem...

Pile foundations have been the subject of interest for earthquake engineers since last several decades. The devastations caused in major earthquakes of the world can be the reason enough to carry out the research on the topic of seismic behavior of piles. One definite concern is liquefaction induced ground movement after the shaking in an earthquake, causing extra lateral loads acting on piles....
