Shaking table tests on the 1/4th-scale three-story reinforced concrete frames were carried out to investigate the effects of bidirectional earthquake motions on overall nonlinear response of reinforced concrete frame buildings. Two identical models were constructed and one was subjected to bidirectional horizontal earthquake motions and the other was subjected to unidirectional one. A series of...

Mining evolving data streams for concept drifts has gained importance in applications like customer behavior analysis, network intrusion detection, credit card fraud detection. Several approaches have been proposed for detection of concept drifts in the context of supervised learning in data streams. Recently, researchers have been looking into the problem of identifying concept drifts in unlab...

PURPOSE Fixational eye movements are of particular interest for three reasons. They are critical for preventing visual fading and enhancing visual perception; their disconjugacy allows scanning in three dimensions, and their neural correlates span through the cortico-striatal, striato-collicular and brainstem networks. Fixational eye movements are altered in various pediatric ophthalmologic and...

• Combining a flexible rocking wall system and the flexibility of timber can result in building with considerable flexibility. This paper investigates how partition detailing affects dynamic properties structural system. determines when it is beneficial to consider nonstructural walls overall resistance. Fixed contribute significantly seismic resistance while deformation-compatible ones offer l...

In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effect of different soil classes on behavior structure under earthquake loads. An evaluation was made for five-storey and eight-story reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures considering three (ZC, ZD, ZE) defined in Turkish Building Earthquake Code 2018 (TBEC 2018) current hazard Sakarya. structural system RC frame, cross-section geometry reinforc...

We used ion drift observations from the DE-2 satellite to study for the first time the longitudinal variations of middle and low latitude F region zonal plasma drifts during quiet and disturbed conditions. The quiet-time middle latitude drifts are predominantly westward; the low latitude drifts are westward during the day and eastward at night. The daytime quiet-time drifts do not change much w...

A method to predict the column size for displacement based design of reinforced concrete frame buildings with higher target inter storey drift is reported here. The column depth derived from empirical relation as a function of given beam section, target inter-story drift, building plan features and common displacement based design parameters is used. Regarding the high drift requirement, a mini...
