Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Multiple Tuned Mass Damper for Passive Control of Structures by Cuckoo AlgorithmHamid Jafari Nia, Amir Hossein Heidari, Hamid Reza Babaali, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-AskariAdjustable mass dampers are recently used to reduce seismic vibrations of engineering structures. Function of these types of systems requires a suitable setting of their parameters. In this study, a practical method to design Multiple Tuned Mass Dampers (MTMD) has been proposed to minimize the maximum displacement of roof, acceleration of roof and TMDs displacement to reduce the seismic response … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 16 Jul 2020 · 7,392 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEducational Challenges in Computer-based Finite Element Analysis and Design of StructuresVagelis Plevris, Gro MarkesetComputer simulations and computational methods, such as the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) have become essential methodologies in science and engineering during the last decades, in a wide variety of academic fields. Six decades after the invention of the digital computer, advanced FE simulations are used to enhance and leapfrog theoretical and experimental progress, at different levels of complexity. Particularly in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 10 · 26 Oct 2018 · 8,625 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Effect of Amount of Damage in Columns on Possible Occurrence of Collapsing in Flexural Frames under EarthquakeReza Salehi, Abbas Akbarpour Nikghalb RashtiConsidering the expansion of the field of study among the structural researchers regarding the structure behavior under different conditions, it would be a new research topic to assess structure behavior before earthquake, supposedly with preliminary deficiency or preliminary damage in elements. Man-made threats including gas cylinder explosion, intentional sabotage, or vehicle collision with the main elements of the building like … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 22 May 2018 · 8,052 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Study of the Behavior of Single-Sided Protruding SlabsReza Salehi, Abbas Akbarpour Nikghalb RashtiDue to the high seismicity of our regions, engineers have always sought to provide various solutions to improve the performance of buildings and consequences control of powerful earthquakes. Building Lighting is one of the methods used to reduce earthquake forces. The use of prefabricated slabs is one of the ways to reduce the dead load of a building. In this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 May 2018 · 8,178 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNASA Satellites Help us to Quickly Detect Forest FiresRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh et al.The main idea is that, as the forests of the planet are getting smaller, too much wood is cut and the forests are made too slow, there are also large forest fires due to excessive heat, of people arguing with the law, or simply by chance. Extinguishing fires are generally difficult, interventions being difficult anyway due to the increased fire, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2018 · 8,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn-Plane Behavior of Infills using Glass Fiber Shear Connectors in Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) TechniqueFarhad Akhoundi, Graça Vasconcelos, Paulo LourençoMasonry has a widespread use in the construction of the buildings even in reinforced concrete or steel frames. Past earthquakes have demonstrated the vulnerability of masonry infills resulted in the human life losses and economic costs. Recently innovative strengthening techniques such as Textile Reinforced Mortar technique (TRM) is used for enhancing the seismic response of the infills. Different procedures were … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2018 · 9,087 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNikola TESLARelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella et al.Nicolae Tesla, has remained and spent most of his life, making it hard to pronounce "Teslea"), is considered to be the inventor of the alternating current and uncovered cableless power transmission. It is attributed to the transmission of energy through monophase, biphasic, polyphase alternating currents and transmission of non-wired energy by electromagnetic waves (oscillations) in the industrial alternating current frequency … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2017 · 13,193 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDelineate Location of the Last Earthquake Case Study NW of IranHadi JarahiThe earthquake hazard is most important title in seismic design of buildings. One of ways to know this hazard is to know where the earthquake boundary is. Moreover, understanding of the future earthquakes location, can help to modify the seismic hazard maps. The b-values, is the effective parameter on future earthquake positioning. This study was conducted to variations of b-values … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 20 May 2017 · 8,165 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProbabilistic Seismic Hazard Deaggregation for Karaj City (Iran)Hadi JarahiIn this study the results of PSHA deaggregation for 5%-damped 0.2, 0.5, 2 and 4 s spectral accelerations, corresponding to Mean Return Periods (MRPs) of 50 and 475 yr for Karaj city was presented. The aim of this paper is to quantify the dominant events that have the most contribution on ground-motion exceedance from the above mentioned hazard levels. The … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 16 Jun 2016 · 8,268 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCould Geometry Demystify Patterns of Earth Quakes and Aftershocks? An Answer is YesRamalingam ShanmugamIn this article, a pioneering (geometric) approach based on a new what is named here Glued Bivariate Poisson (GBP) distribution is constructed to demystify the 21st century incidences of earthquakes and their aftershocks. A warning risk index for an earthquake or an aftershock to occur is formulated and computed for each of the thirteen major tectonic plates. This article reports … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2016 · 7,655 accessesView PDFCite
