in this study, the effective parameters on the inelastic response of asymmetric buildings is evaluated for an ensemble of real iranian earthquake records by considering soil-structure interaction. then, the design eccentricity obtained from the inelastic dynamic soil-structure analysis is compared with the design eccentricity of seisimic codes of iran, atc-3, new zeland, canada, mexico, austral...

near-fault ground motions have caused very much damage in the vicinity of seismic sources during recent earthquakes. it is well known that under specific circumstances, intensive ground shakings near fault ruptures may be characterized by short-duration impulsive motions. this pulse-type motion is generally particular to the forward direction, where the fault rupture propagates towards the site...

fiber metal laminates are hybrid laminates consisting of thin alternating bonded layers of aluminum and fiber/epoxy. arall (aramid aluminum laminate) and galare (glass fiber reinforced aluminum laminate) are specific kinds of fiber metal laminates that consist of thin aluminum sheets along with kevlar/epoxy and glass/epoxy composite layers, respectively. in this study, nonlinear tensile behavio...

the theoretical calculation of the energies of projectile like fragments (plfs) using the heavy-ion reactions between 76ge and 198pt are reported in this article. the incident beam energy was 635 mev. the calculated values of plfs are compared with the previous experimental results and it is shown that the theoretical calculations of plfs are consistent with the experimental values. the elastic...

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...
