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 titleThe 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
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvolutionary Structural Optimization of Wind Bracing Connection Plates in Steel StructuresReza Kasiri, Saeid Eslamian, Theodore C. Crusberg et al.Evolutionary Structural Optimization (ESO) is one of the rules in structural engineering which has received much attention by the researchers. Today, the reduction of construction cost and weight is an important issue in the structure design. The optimization phenomenon is pursuing to fulfill this objective. Thus, presenting a design which could be both safe and economic is of special significance. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 15 Jul 2020 · 6,968 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigation of Shear Lag Factor in Long Structures with Pipeline System in Tubes under Wind LoadReza Salehi, Alireza KhalooThe type of lateral load capacity systems is one of the major challenges of structural engineers in implementing and designing high-rise structures. One type of common system is a pipe system in which the type of pipe in the classified pipe exhibits good behavior under wind and earthquake loading conditions. One of the issues that researchers have been studying over … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 22 May 2018 · 8,231 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePhotoelectrochemical Corrosion of GaN/AlGaN-Based p-n StructuresAlexander Usikov, Heikki Helava, Alexey Nikiforov et al.Direct water photoelectrolysis using III-N materials is a promising way for hydrogen production. GaN/AlGaN based p-n structures were used as working electrodes in a photoelectrochemical process to investigate the material etching (corrosion). The structures were grown on sapphire substrates by chloride Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy (HVPE). First, the etching process occurs near vertically via channels associated with defects in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2016 · 7,335 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimal Arrangement of Energy-Dissipating Members for Seismic Retrofitting of Truss StructuresToru Takeuchi, Yusuke Kinouchi, Ryota Matsui, Toshiyuki OgawaAlthough passive response control design is a popular method, an arrangement methodology for energy-dissipating devices in spatial structures has not been established yet. In this study, optimization techniques are applied to arrangements of energy-dissipating devices in truss tower structures. First, a response prediction rule using the response spectrum and the equivalent linearization method is proposed. Then, a genetic algorithm is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 14 Jul 2015 · 7,619 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDialectic Form Finding of Structurally Integrated Adaptive StructuresL. Rhode-Barbarigos, V. Charpentier, S. Adriaenssens, O. BaverelStructural engineering, prompted by advances in mechanics and computing as well as design principles such as sustainability and resilience, is evolving towards adaptive structures. Adaptive structures are structures that use active components to change shape and properties in response to their environment and/or to their users' desires. Form-found structures, such as tensegrity and shell structures, can be designed to accommodate … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 6 Jul 2015 · 7,850 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
