Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCase Study on the Effects of Plan Irregularities on Seismic Performance of StructuresEduardo Flores, Tadeh ZirakianGeometric configurations, such as large openings, re-entrant corners, and discontinuity in diaphragms, are very common in architectural design but are seen as undesirable for structural performance during earthquakes. The lateral systems in a structure resist the strong forces induced during an earthquake, preventing damage or collapse of the structure. If these systems fail, the structural integrity of the building may … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 21 Jul 2024 · 5,723 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Architectural Irregularities on the Seismic Behavior of BuildingsSara Mostafa Karra, Iman Hajal, Youmn Al Rawi, Aya DiabCooperation between the architect and the civil engineer has nowadays become essential in any project for the client’s requests’ sake. This study was made to show this idea’s importance and beneficial consequences. For this purpose, a 40-story dual-system high-rise building has been designed to resist moderate seismic and high wind loads. Three main models were formed: Starting with the net … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 24 Apr 2021 · 6,779 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Contribution of the CDP Gathers and Pre-Stack Seismic Inversion in the Prospect Evaluation: A Case Study of El Mansoura Field, Nile Delta, EgyptMohamed Hussein, Ahmed Abu El-Ata, Mohamed El-BehiryThis case study showing the usefulness of the Common Depth Point (CDP’s) analysis to assess the amplitude response which is similar at two cases (gas-bearing and dry sands) after stack, using the Amplitude Versus Offset (AVO) analysis and the pre-stack inversion to understand the reservoir configuration and its relationship to the different amplitude response. The results led to a high … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 24 Jul 2019 · 7,794 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigating Seismic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Columns with SFRP Using Finite Element MethodJalil Khani, Mohsen Bozorg, Seyed Mehdi ZahraiCurrently, various methods have been used for repairing and retrofitting reinforced concrete columns including Steel Fiber Reinforced Polymer (SFRP) jackets in order to improve load bearing capacity. However, the enclosure mechanism is less known by consideration of the effects of slender columns which needs much more studies. Avoiding the buckling of a slender Reinforced Concrete (RC) column against the compressive … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2018 · 8,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIntegrations of Seismic Data, Petro-physical Evaluation and Reserve Estimation in Fimkassar Oil Field of Eastern Potwar, PakistanMuhammad Ishfaque, Hafeez Ur Rehman, Bilal Khalid et al.In upper Indus basin Potwar plateau is a successful exploration area for hydrocarbon. The study area is consisting of Fimkassar oil field and research data is obtained from Land Mark Resources with the special permission of Director General of Petroleum Concession Ministry of petroleum and natural resources Islamabad. The study area consists of well#1 and #2 and seismic lines 97-CP-07, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 13 Apr 2017 · 8,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMulti-Objective Optimization of FRP Jackets for Improving the Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete FramesCorrado Chisari, Chiara BedonIn this study, a multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization procedure is proposed for the seismic retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete (RC) building frames via Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) jackets. The optimization problem is solved via numerically efficient but accurate Finite-Element (FE) models able to take into account the strengthening and ductility increase contribution for a given FRP jacketing configuration. Based on a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2016 · 8,825 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effect of Using Hysteresis Models (Bilinear and Modified Clough) on Seismic Demands of Single Degree of Freedom SystemsAhmad N. Tarawneh, Sereen A. Majdalaweyh, Bassam Z. MahasnehBased on nonlinear inelastic dynamic analysis of Single Degree Of Freedom systems (SDOF), this work investigates the effect of different parameters on the seismic response of these systems. Generalized SDOF systems that present both short and long period structures are subjected to two sets of synthetic ground motions according to the site condition; stiff rock site and stiff soil one, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 8 · 17 Aug 2016 · 7,729 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOn the Problem of Stratigraphic Assignment of the Key Seismic Horizons on the East-Arctic Shelf and in the Area of Central Arctic UpliftsLidia Daragan-Sushchova, Lyudmila Grinko, Natalia Petrovskaya, Yuri Daragan-SushchovModern geological and geophysical studies of Central Arctic uplifts area and East-Arctic Shelf has revealed the basic problems in stratigraphic subdivision of sedimentary cover. Basic approach for subdivision of Arctic Ocean sedimentary cover is based on the wave field's characteristics and tracing of regional seismic horizons. Their age identification still depends on general geological ideas. Different correlative models of seismic-stratigraphic … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 16 Jul 2015 · 7,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSeismic Assessment of Non-Seismically Designed Reinforced Concrete Frames with Core WallsTaek-Hyun Lee, Ki-Bong Choi, Taher Abu-LebdehThis study examines the seismic performance of four non-seismically designed reinforced concrete structures with core walls and proposes proper rehabilitation methods. The structures were selected based on the height of the structures, occupancy levels and floor plans. The seismic assessment results were compared based on the performance of the structures before rehabilitation and after rehabilitation. The results indicate that most … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 11 · 13 Dec 2014 · 6,609 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDOWNHOLE SEISMIC REFRACTION SURVEY OF WEATHERED LAYER CHARACTERISTICS IN ESCRAVOS, NIGERIAOchuko AnomohanranThe problem of datum correction in seismic surveys and the failures associated with civil engineering structures with specific reference to roads and buildings has been attributed to lack of understanding of the soil structure among others.
