Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSeismic Behavior of Vertical Shear Links made of Easy-Going SteelAmir Saedi Daryan, Hesam Bahrampoor, Masood Ziaei et al.Problem Statement: Since the time that steel was first used as a construction material, engineers have attempted to increase strength, reduce weight and produce more economical structures by using elegant member sections. However, the increase in steel strength and the decrease in cross section area are not always useful and in some cases it is necessary to reduce the strength … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSoil Structure Interaction between Two Adjacent Buildings under Earthquake LoadMahmoud Yahyai, Masoud Mirtaheri, Mehrab Mahoutian et al.In some cases, tall buildings are located in geotechnically unsuitable places, due to their high ratio of height to width; there is risk of uplift and other effects such as overturning and reduction structure serviceability during earthquake. This research is aimed to evaluate the effect of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) on seismic behavior of two adjacent 32 story buildings such as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 9,345 accessesView PDFCite
