Reinforced concrete structures are one of the main building technologies for ages in many countries through the world, and especially in Mediterranean countries, such as Greece and Italy. Those countries are very prone to earthquake events, however a high percentage of the current building stock, has been designed to resist gravity load only (mostl...

In this paper, the seismic performance of offshore jacket-type platforms equipped with super-elastic SMA braces was investigated. To do so, the real offshore jacket-type platform, SPD1, was considered. Nonlinear time history analyses of offshore jacket-type platform equipped with SMA subjected to three ground motion records have been performed usin...

The aim of the work is, on the one hand, the presentation of a theoretical fiber model able to predict the moment-curvature behaviour of confined RC columns and, on the other hand, the comparison between the moment-curvature provided by common structural programs. The theoretical fiber model presented in the paper is implemented in a visual basic s...

Owing to their reasonable accuracy and relative simplicity, beam-on-nonlinear Winkler foundation (BNWF) models are widely used in the analysis of piles response to different loading conditions. For performance-based seismic design of piles-supported structures, it is essential to account for various variables that influence the piles behaviour. In...

یکی از موضوعات طراحی سازه مقاوم بودن در برابر بارهای جانبی مخصوصا بار زلزله است .یکی از سیستم های متداول باربر جانبی سیستم مهاربندی می باشد. ایده ی جدید در مورد بهبود عملکرد این سیستم، استفاده از مهاربند کمانش ناپذیر در آن ها است .این مهاربند بر خلاف مهاربند های معمول، تحت بارهای فشاری کمانش نمی کند و این امر باعث جذب انرژی بیشتر هنگام زلزله می شود...

It was observed from many experimental and analytical studies that the presence of infill elements can reduce horizontal displacement and increase the overall resistance to lateral loading. The purpose of this research is to study analytically the effect of infill on the response of RC frames under dynamic time history and static pushover loadings....
