Study on seismic behavior of reinforced concrete column-steel beam side joints

open access: yesJournal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, 2020
In this paper, a steel beam insert RCS side joint specimen is designed, and the low-cycle reciprocating loading test has been studied by designing a similar form of side joint specimen.

Great East Japan Earthquake, JR East Mitigation Successes, and Lessons for California High-Speed Rail, MTI Report 12-37 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
California and Japan both experience frequent seismic activity, which is often damaging to infrastructure. Seismologists have developed systems for detecting and analyzing earthquakes in real-time.

Investigation on Seismic Behavior of Prestressed Steel Strand Composite Reinforced High-Strength Concrete Column

open access: yesBuildings
To study the seismic performance of high-strength concrete columns reinforced with prestressed steel strands, five column specimens were designed and tested with varying parameters, such as axial compression ratio (0.2, 0.35, 0.5) and diameter of steel ...

Seismic performance enhancement of three-dimensional frame structures via inerter-based control systems

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment
Improving the seismic response of new and existing structures is a fundamental topic in civil engineering. Often, in structural mechanics this issue is addressed through low-dimensional mechanical models capable of capturing the primary dynamics of the ...

Seismic Behavior of Soft First Storey

open access: yesIOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering, 2012
In the aftermath of recent North Kashmir Earthquake of October 8, 2005, there is increased awareness for the need to evaluate and improve the seismic performance of multistoried reinforced concrete buildings. There are several numbers of factors affecting the behavior of building. Stiffness irregularity in vertical direction is one of them, as a result

Seismic response and collapse capacity assessment of dual RC buildings with vertical irregularities in shear walls

open access: yesScientific Reports
Buildings and other human-made structures can exhibit various irregularities due to environmental factors or architectural considerations. These irregularities can alter the structural response to applied forces, leading to the concentration of seismic ...

Investigation of the effect of far-field ground motion records on the seismic response of mid-rise hybrid concrete-steel buildings [PDF]

open access: yesمهندسی عمران شریف
Hybrid concrete-steel buildings in height are usually referred to as buildings that have two lower and upper parts of concrete and steel materials, respectively. Due to the change in mass, stiffness, and damping in the vertical direction, these buildings

COVID-19 societal response captured by seismic noise in China and Italy

open access: yes, 2020
Seismic noise with frequencies above 1 Hz is often called cultural noise and is generally correlated quite well with human activities. Recently, cities in mainland China and Italy imposed lockdown restrictions in response to COVID-19, which gave us an ...

Icequakes coupled with surface displacements for predicting glacier break-off

open access: yes, 2010
A hanging glacier at the east face of Weisshorn (Switzerland) broke off in 2005. We were able to monitor and measure surface motion and icequake activity for 25 days up to three days prior to the break-off.
