Abstract:

The aim of the present paper is to evaluate the influence of the Soil- Foundation- Structure Interaction (SFSI) effects on the component demand modifier factor of concrete gravity beams based on ASCE 41-06 standard. To this end, the beam on the nonlinear Winkler foundation approach is employed which is a simple and efficient method. At first, four sets of 3-, 6-, 10- and 15-storey concrete moment-resisting frames founded on soft, medium and hard soils are designed and analysed for the case of fixed-base and flexible-base assumptions. A comparison is then made between the results of the nonlinear response history analysis of each frame in the flexible-base and fixed-base conditions with the response based on the equivalent linear static approach. The findings show that the equivalent linear static approach loads for gravity beams, which are controlled by deformation actions, can lead to non-conservative predictions of seismic demand. Finally, a modified load combination is proposed to be used in the equivalent linear static approach to avoid this imperfection.

the effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
