Nonlinear Response‐History Analyses of Masonry and Mixed Structures With HybriDFEM

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The hybrid discrete‐finite element (HybriDFEM) method, previously developed to perform static and modal analysis in discrete and coupled discrete‐finite element models, is extended to nonlinear response‐history analyses. The equations of motion for the HybriDFEM model are solved through various numerical time‐integration schemes, both explicit

Masonry Wall Performance Estimation Under Blast Loading: A Study Using Finite Element Analysis

Mekanika
This paper studies the dynamic response of masonry wall structures under blast loading. It requires a detailed understanding of the explosion phenomenon, wave propagation, and the structure's response to these shocks.

Analytical Floor Response Spectra for Performance‐Based Seismic Design of Non‐structural Elements in Reinforced Concrete Frame Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...

Masonry wall assembly

, 2016
Various implementations are directed to a single face building block and masonry wall assembly and methods. Each building block includes a single face shell, first and second webs extending from an interior surface of the face shell, and a pier that has a proximal surface disposed between distal ends of the webs and a distal surface that is opposite ...

Research on the Laws of Destructive Patterns and Control Measures of Overlying Rock in High‐Efficiency Large‐Scale Mining Faces

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
With the advancement of coal mining technology driving the development of working faces toward increased mining heights and extended lengths, the enlargement of face dimensions has led to expanded overlying strata failure zones and intensified ground pressure manifestations. Consequently, traditional methods for determining hydraulic support resistance

Study on Damage Characteristics and Evolution Law of Macro‐Meso Structure of Surrounding Rock Under Mining Stress

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Investigating the differential impact of mining stress on roadways, we find that in horizontally stressed environments, the inner surrounding rock exhibits more pronounced macro‐meso damage compared to the outer side. ABSTRACT The control of surrounding rocks in dynamic pressure roadways has consistently been one of the challenging predicaments in the ...

Study on the Influence of Slope Static Load on Shallow Lining Support Structure

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
On the basis of the background of the shallow‐buried main adit supported by stone lining, the mechanical model of the supporting structure is constructed, and the stability of the supporting structure is analyzed by using the methods of field investigation, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulation.
