Maximum inter-story drift demands of steel frames in terms of the intensity measure INp [PDF]
In the present work, a new equation to predict the maximum inter-story drift demands of mid-rise steel framed buildings is proposed in terms of a new ground motion intensity measures based on the spectral shape. For this aim, the maxim\um inter-story drift of steel frames with 4, 6, 8 and 10 stories subjected to several narrow-band ground motions is ...

Seismic performance of moment frames under multiple fling-step pulse ground motions
The displacement fling-step pulse seldom signatures near-field earthquake in its ground motions. It is well recognized that the near-field ground motion with velocity pulse amplifies the building drift larger than the regular ground motion.

Output Only Estimation of Inter-story Drift Angle for Buildings Using Small Number of Accelerometers
Abstract The Tohoku earthquake of magnitude 9.0 occurred on March 11, 2011. As a result, the need for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) was highlighted. To assess the health of buildings, modal parameters such as natural frequencies and damping ratios are the basic and important damage indicators. In addition, maximum inter-story drift angle is also

Structural analysis due to wind speed as static loads on building [PDF]
The effect of wind as a dynamic load on structures can vary greatly depending on geographic location, topography, building height, and the characteristics of the building itself.

Diffusiophoresis in non-adsorbing polymer solutions: the Asakura-Oosawa model and stratification in drying films [PDF]
A colloidal particle placed in an inhomogeneous solution of smaller non-adsorbing polymers will move towards regions of lower polymer concentration, in order to reduce the free energy of the interface between the surface of the particle and the solution.

Most regional seismic damage assessment (RSDA) methods are based on the rigid-base assumption to ensure evaluating efficiency, while these practices introduce factual errors due to neglecting the soil–structure interaction (SSI). Predicting the influence

Integrated design of hybrid interstory-interbuilding multi-actuation schemes for vibration control of adjacent buildings under seismic excitations [PDF]
The design of vibration control systems for the seismic protection of closely adjacent buildings is a complex and challenging problem. In this paper, we consider distributed multi-actuation schemes that combine interbuilding linking elements and ...
