Response of Buildings with Inclined First-Story Columns to Near-Fault Ground Motion [PDF]
In this paper a simple model of a three story building with inclined first-story columns has presented. The stories are supposed to be rigid and are connected to axially rigid mass less columns by elasto-plastic rotational springs and linear rotational ...

Seismic behavior of MSCSS based on story drift and failure path [PDF]
Abstract The Mega-Sub Controlled Structure System (MSCSS) is a new type of seismic structural system. This research aims to find weak members in the structure and better describe the failure state. To achieve this, we enhanced the story drift ratio indicator by combining it with the structural failure path and proposed a new comprehensive indicator ...

Seismic Retrofitting of Steel Frames with Buckling Restrained and Ordinary Concentrically Bracing Systems with Various Strain Hardening and Slenderness Ratios [PDF]
The present study assesses the seismic performance of steel moment resisting frames (SMFs) retrofitted with different bracing systems. Two structural configurations were utilized: ordinary concentrically braces (OCBFs), buckling-restrained braces (BRBFs).

Distributed passive actuation schemes for seismic protection of multibuilding systems [PDF]
In this paper, we investigate the design of distributed damping systems (DDSs) for the overall seismic protection of multiple adjacent buildings. The considered DDSs contain interstory dampers implemented inside the buildings and also interbuilding ...

Seismic damage assessment of subway station subjected to mainshock-aftershock sequences
In the previous seismic analyses of underground structures, only the peak structural response under the main earthquake is considered, but the damage mechanism of underground structures subjected to sequential ground motions has not been fully understood

Evaluating of Relative and Absolute Cumulative Input Energy Time History subjected to Forward Directivity Earthquakes [PDF]
In this article, to study the effect of pulse-type near-fault earthquakes on the seismic demands of steel moment frames, 15-story 2D-frame was analyzed under the influence of 20 near-fields with forward directivity effect and 2 far-field records.
