EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT DESIGN METHOD FOR IRREGULAR STEEL FRAMES

Presentation of Empirical Relation for the Fundamental Period of Irregular Steel Frames with EBF Steel Braces

Developments in the field of Structure and Earthquake Engineering and also consequences of earthquakes have been led to develop some continually changes and improvement of seismic regulations around the world. In regards to seismicity of Iran, it is necessary and also possible to review and edit the Seismic Regulations of Iran and compare it with the other countries; so it seems that a comparat...

EIGENVECTORS OF COVARIANCE MATRIX FOR OPTIMAL DESIGN OF STEEL FRAMES

In this paper, the discrete method of eigenvectors of covariance matrix has been used to weight minimization of steel frame structures. Eigenvectors of Covariance Matrix (ECM) algorithm is a robust and iterative method for solving optimization problems and is inspired by the CMA-ES method. Both of these methods use covariance matrix in the optimization process, but the covariance matrix calcula...

Innovations in Earthquake Resistant Steel Structures

This paper reviews selected recent innovations that expand the range of applicability of a number of new and emerging structural steel systems that can provide effective seismic performance. Focus is on recent developments on: (a) Steel Plate Shear Walls having light gauge infill plates; (b) Perforated Steel Plate Shear Walls; (c) Buckling Restrained Braced frames designed to meet Structural Fu...

Earthquake Response Evaluation of RC Frames using High Strength Steel

To achieve better structural performance, lesser damage along with minimum residual displacements is a main objective of earthquake resistant design. In ordinary steel reinforced concrete frames, chances of severe damage because of the lower strength of conventional steel are always present during strong earthquakes. With the invention of high-strength steel (HSS) it can be anticipated that its...
