Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil 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 PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Modeling of Pile-Leg Interaction in Jacket Type Offshore Platforms Cyclic Inelastic BehaviorM.R. Honarvar, M.R. Bahaari, B. AsgarianOffshore platforms in seismically active areas should be designed to survive in the event of severe ground excitations with no global structural failure. The annulus between the pile and leg in jacket-type offshore platforms can be filled with cement grout as a means of reducing horizontal deflections, inhibiting corrosion and preventing local damages. This paper discusses an experimental approach which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,004 accessesView PDF Cite
