The nonlinear dynamic analysis is the most sophisticated evaluation method for vertically irregular structures under effect of earthquake because higher mode effects are significant. In particular, structure has a complex geometry, so errors can occur when inputting members as coordinates or defining properties members. Therefore, simplified modeling proposed in this paper. was developed by con...

The present study evaluates the utilization of shotcrete sandwich panel (SSP) infill and CFRP strips to strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) frames. To this end, a diagonal strip-infilled RC frame, an SSP-infilled control specimen (a bare frame) were examined as single-story specimens in terms in-plane seismic response. This work compared stiffness degradation, damping, cyclic lateral Also, avai...

One of the main parts in planning reinforced concrete structures lies beam column joint (BCJ) connection . The beam-column consists interior, exterior, and knee joints. In this study an analysis has been carried out regarding behavior joints on exterior look for capacity structural strength using conventional methods. type component will be based results laboratory test modifying data search ob...

We begin with the simplest possible introduction to supergravity, and then discuss its spin 3/2 stress tensor. Next, we discuss boundary conditions on fields and boundary actions for N = 1 supergravity. Finally, we discuss new boundary contributions to the mass and central charge of monopoles in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. All models are in 3+1 dimensions. YITP-SB-06-21

Seismic screening, evaluation, and rehabilitation design of two existing wood-framed structures are performed using FEMA 154, FEMA 356, ASCE/SEI 31, and the 1997 UBC. FEMA 154 screening demonstrates the importance of examining construction drawings. Plans revealed a structural deficiency, but screening alone indicated no further evaluation is needed. Demand-to-capacity ratios for shear walls an...

This paper summarizes the lessons learned from a full-scale test on two RC frame prototypes that have recently been tested on LNEC shaking-table using four pairs of biaxial synthetic ground motion records during 15WCEE Conference (2012). The reference structures are two single-story RC frames which are geometrically identical but with different reinforcement details. The simplified inelastic mo...
