Reduction Behaviour of Hysteresis Cycle by Pushover Analysis

Pushover Analysis of Long Span Bridge Bents

Pushover Analysis of Piles in Stratified Soil

Pile foundations have been the subject of interest for earthquake engineers since last several decades. The devastations caused in major earthquakes of the world can be the reason enough to carry out the research on the topic of seismic behavior of piles. One definite concern is liquefaction induced ground movement after the shaking in an earthquake, causing extra lateral loads acting on piles....

Optimal Combination for Modal Pushover Analysis by Using Genetic Algorithm

In order to consider the effects of the higher modes in the pushover analysis, during the recent years several multi-modal pushover procedures have been presented. In these methods the response of the considered modes are combined by the square-rootof-sum-of-squares (SRSS) rule while application of the elastic modal combination rules in the inelastic phases is no longer valid. In this research ...

Cycle Time Reduction and Runtime Rebalancing by Reallocating Dependent Tasks

Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) is a complex information system that provides designing, administrating, and improving the business processes. Task allocation to human resources is one of the most important issues which should be managed more efficiently in BPMS. Task allocation algorithms are defined in order to meet the various policies of organizations. The most important of these...

Modal Pushover Analysis of SAC Buildings

The nonlinear static procedure (NSP) or pushover analysis in FEMA-273 [FEMA, 1997] has become a standard procedure in current structural engineering practice. Seismic demands are computed by nonlinear static analysis of the structure, which is subjected to monotonically increasing lateral forces with an invariant height-wise distribution until a target displacement is reached. None of the curre...
