Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNonlinear Behavior of Single Piles in Jacket Type Offshore Platforms Using Incremental Dynamic AnalysisMohammad Amin Assareh, Behrouz AsgarianThe operation for offshore oil has become an important issue in the recent years. Offshore platforms are some of those structures which are built to withstand environmental and accidental loads during oil exploitation operation. One of the most usual types of these platforms is the Jacket Type Offshore Platform (JTOP) which can be divided into three important parts, which are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 9,299 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Pile- Soil Interaction Subjected to Lateral Loads in Layered SoilsA. Avaei, Abdoul R. Ghotbi, M. AryafarTo stabilize infrastructures such as tall buildings, bridges, etc., piles are used to resist lateral loads created from earth pressure, wind, waves and earthquake extensively. Pile design requires understanding of how the load is transferred from a pile to surrounding soil and vice versa. Pile properties, soil stress-strain behavior and pile-soil interaction play important roles in pile-response subjected to lateral … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,339 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEcological Capability of Land Use Planning for Rural DevelopmentJ. Nouri, R. Sharifipour, A. A. BabaeiExecution of development and creation of appropriate points for rural development without considering ecological capability will result in the appearance of several environmental, economic and social problems. This research is done in an analysis approach frame of a system with the aim of choosing the most suitable location for rural development in Abadeh with an area of 22,000 km2. In … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,840 accessesView PDFCite
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 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 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 abstractEffect of Link Dimensions on D Type Eccentric Steel FramesMazen Ali MusmarIn seismic prone regions, buildings are designed to maintain sufficient stiffness during moderate earthquakes and to absorb and dissipate a large amount of the energy released due to severe earthquakes. The usual steel framing systems; the moment frames require larger member sections to satisfy stiffness requirements and have large ductility capacity, the concentrically braced frames satisfy stiffness on the expense … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2013 · 7,529 accessesView PDFCite
