The pipe racks and technological platforms in oil refineries are primarily steel structures and require space for critical operations and efficient routing of the large diameter pipes and they are the main arteries of any process plant. Pipe racks are mostly long, narrow structures that carry pipes in longitudinal direction. The design, fabrication...

Acceleration records from the recent earthquakes show that near field earthquakes are different with far field ground motions. Near-field ground motion recordings have highlighted characteristics that are completely different with the far-field ones. These include distinctive pulse-like time histories, high peak velocities, and large ground displac...
Nowadays, tending to use tall steel structures has increased the need for finding efficient and economical lateral load resisting systems. The aim of this study was to investigate the structural performance of bracing configurations under earthquake ground motions. For this purpose steel frames with 18 and 30 floors having bracing system with diffe...
Nowadays, the high level of urbanization forces the engineers to design closelyseparated structures and to take into account many factors influencing their response, including collisions between them due to insufficient separation distance during moderate to strong ground motions. Recent observations as well as experimental and numerical investigat...
This paper deals with the estimation of maximum displacements in single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems simulating typical steel structures by means of dimensional analysis. Peak deformation demands in bilinear systems (representative of moment resisting frames) are considered as well as additional pinching models depicting partially-restrained (P...
The present paper reports the results of the study, which was designed to perform a numerical evaluation of dynamic response of a single-storey steel structure model. The experimental model was previously subjected to a number of different earthquake ground motions during an extensive shaking table investigation. The analyzed structure model was co...
