Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe 11th February, 2004 Earthquake of The Dead Sea, JordanAbdallah S. Al-ZoubiThe Dead Sea fault system and its branching faults represent one of the most tectonically active regions in the Middle East. The present investigation emphasis on the recent earthquake swarm, which occurred at the end of 2003 and extended to the middle of July 2004 with critical examination on the strongest event of 11th Feb. 2004. The present study examines … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,726 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEarthquake Airbags, New Devices to Save Lives in Earthquakes, Tornados and Similar Disasters Resulting from Building CrashesAmir Hashem Shahidi BonjarEarthquake Airbag (EA) is a new terminology being introduced for the earthquake literature of the world. According to literature surveys, this terminology has not been used previously. Based on many scientific reports, fatality rates are lower in vehicles equipped with airbags than unequipped ones. Accordingly, it was postulated that similar structures can be adopted in buildings to protect people and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 7,528 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Role of Sine and Cosine Components in Love Waves and Rayleigh Waves for Energy Hauling during EarthquakeZainal Abdul Aziz, Dennis Ling Chuan ChingProblem statement: Love waves or shear waves are referred to dispersive SH waves. The diffusive parameters are found to produce complex amplitude and diffusive waves for energy hauling. Approach: Analytical solutions are found for analysis and discussions. Results: When the standing waves are compared with the Love waves, similar cosine component is found in both waves. Energy hauling between waves … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,582 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStudy of Impact between Adjacent Structures during of Earthquake and their Effective ParametersAlireza M. Goltabar, R. Shamstabar Kami, A. EbadiIn this research, buildings with 2-15 stories and different heights were put together using GAP joint element and nonlinear time-history analyses were done for Tabas, Elcentro and Sakaria accelerographs. The responses of both impact and non-impact cases were compared. With results analyzing, we found out that the impact increased the responses in taller buildings but decreased them in shorter ones. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,785 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimized Earthquake Evacuation Routes Using Dijkstra's Algorithm and WinQSBSandra Huarcaya Gonzales, Hugo Vega-Huerta, Gisella Luisa Elena Maquen-Niño et al.This research analyzes and generates optimal evacuation routes in the Barranco district during earthquake scenarios using the Dijkstra algorithm implemented through WinQSB. A preliminary review was conducted to establish key concepts related to earthquake dynamics, evacuation route planning, and the application of Dijkstra’s algorithm. Given its high seismic exposure and the prevalence of aging infrastructure, Barranco is considered highly vulnerable … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 10 · 9 Dec 2025 · 2,851 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePre-Reinforcement Sprinkle FRP for Reinforced-Concrete Beams against Earthquakes, FRP: Consumption in Civil EngineeringMoein Zargar, Hossein Gholami, Hossein Norouzi et al.Nowadays, the reinforcement is used by green concrete, coated steel sheet, reinforcement, fiber reinforced such as carbon, aramid, and glass as earthquake reinforcement methods for concrete structures. regard the reinforcing structures and buildings against earthquake forces in the future, only simple methods for lowering prices should not be considered and the earthquake behaviors should be completely transparent. In this article, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 26 Jun 2019 · 7,344 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigating 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 accessEvery word in the titlePerformance of IBS Precast Concrete Beam-Column Connections Under Earthquake Effects: A Literature ReviewPatrick Tiong Liq Yee, Azlan Bin Adnan, Abdul Karim Mirasa, Ahmad Baharuddin Abdul RahmanProblem statement: Despite demonstrating rather much benefits comparing to the conventional cast-in-place construction, the acceptance level of precast concrete building is still reportedly low in Malaysia. The implication imposed by stricter seismic design provisions would only worsen the matter. Approach: The main objective of this study was to identify the most appropriate type of beam-column connections to be introduced to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 17,554 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImpact of Earthquake Demolition Debris on the Quality of GroundwaterM. S. Benmenni, K. BenrachediProblem statement: Debris from construction or demolition/deconstruction processes have no significant impact on the environment as they are res-usable and inert. This has been also long admitted for solid waste generated by the demolition of damaged cities following violent earthquakes. Approach: This study is a contribution to the assessment of actual impact on the quality of groundwater of buried demolition … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,236 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEarthquake Resistant Design of Reinforced Soil Structures Using Pseudo Static MethodB. Munwar Basha, G.L. Sivakumar BabuProblem statement: This study presented a method to evaluate the internal stability of reinforced soil structures against tension and pullout modes of failure using pseudo-static method for earthquake conditions. Approach: Using limit equilibrium method and assuming the failure surface to be logarithmic spiral, analysis was conducted to maintain internal stability against both tensile and pullout failure of the reinforcements. For … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,572 accessesView PDFCite
