Seismic Evaluation of Flexible-Base Low-Rise Steel Frames Using Beam-On-Nonlinear-Winkler-Foundation Modeling of Shallow Footings [PDF]
Journal of Rehabilitation in Civil Engineering, 2019 Recent studies have revealed that the influences of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) can be detrimental to the seismic behavior of structure, and hence ignoring this phenomenon in analysis and design may result in to an un-conservative design. The aim of

EVALUATION OF BASE-ISOLATOR TYPE DISTRIBUTION IN LOW-RISE BUILDINGS [PDF]
مجله مدل سازی در مهندسی, 2016 Seismic base isolation is an earthquake resistant design method that is based on decreasing the seismic demand instead of increasing the seismic capacity. In this paper, the seismic response of base-isolated structures is numerically investigated.
