[ 1 ] - Investigating The Seismic Response of Structural Walls Using Nonlinear Static and Incremental Dynamic Analyses
Structural walls commonly used as efficient structural elements to resist lateral and vertical loads. Diverse performance of bearing wall system in past earthquakes, motivates investigation on the adequacy of current seismic design provision for these walls. This study considers seismic performance of model walls of bearing wall and building frame systems designed as ordinary and special struct...
[ 2 ] - Introducing Padded Wall to Reduce Sloshing Induced Wall Pressure in Water Storage Tanks
Sloshing due to ground motion develops large pressure on the walls of water retaining tanks. This paper evaluates the efficacy of padded walls on the reduction of sloshing effects in rectangular water storage tanks subjected to ground motion. An analytical solution based on velocity potential function is provided to obtain the response of rigid and padded wall tanks in terms of the wave elevat...
[ 3 ] - Employing Internal Flexible Wall as Mass Absorber in Tanks Subjected to Harmonic Excitations
The possibility of employing internal wall as mass absorber in rectangular water storage tanks subjected to harmonic ground motion excitation is investigated in this paper. Internal walls are used in these tanks usually for service performance purposes, which could be used as mass absorber to control seismic demand on tank's exterior walls. Derivation of the response of the coupled system inclu...
[ 4 ] - Dynamic Response of Submerged Vertical Cylinder with Lumped Mass under Seismic Excitation
An analytical approach is presented to assess the response of offshore structures under seismic excitation. This paper evaluates the impacts of different fluid field models and the mass of equipment at the top of offshore structure which is simulated as lumped mass on the responses of offshore structures. To do this, two and three dimensional fluid field models are developed. In three dimension...
[ 5 ] - Hydroelastic Vibration of a Circular Diaphragm in the Fluid Chamber of a Reciprocating Micro Pump
Reciprocating diaphragm micro-pumps are the most common type among indirectly–driven micro-pumps. They operate by reciprocating the diaphragm with associated check valves. This paper addresses the Hydroelastic vibration of circular elastic diaphragm interacting with the incompressible and inviscid liquid inside the cylindrical chamber with a central discharge opening. Taking into account axisym...
[ 6 ] - Moving Load Analysis of Submerged Floating Tunnels
The concept of floating submerged tunnels becomes increasingly attractive idea to cross the straits. The structural solution in these bridges includes buoyancy force on tunnel body plus tension in mooring tethers. This paper investigates the effect of submergence on the dynamic response of submerged floating tunnels due to moving load. The inertial effect of the fluid on the submerged structure...
[ 7 ] - Effect of Flexural and Membrane Stiffness on the Analysis of Floating Roofs
With the aim of extending the use of integrated variational principles on fluid and deckplate to the large deflection analysis of floating roofs, this paper investigates the significance of theflexural and membrane components in the formulations of the deck plate. Applying integratedvariational principles on deck plate and fluid facilitate the treatment of the compatibility ofdeformation betwee...
[ 8 ] - Fragility Curves for Reinforced Concrete Frames with Lap-Spliced Columns
Placing column lap-splice in the locations of possible nonlinear deformation may adversely affect the structures response to strong ground motions. Localization of damage in splice zone may change the structural response and prevent the load redistribution and development of a uniform pattern of nonlinear excursions among the various members. Validated by existing laboratory experiments, this s...
[ 9 ] - Impact of High Strength Rebars on Seismic Behavior of Lightly Reinforced Boundary Elements
Considering economical reasons and attempting to reduce carbon foot print of concrete structures, there is increasing tendency toward use of high strength reinforcement in seismically active regions. ACI 318-19, Iranian steel rebars standard INSO 3132 and next edition of Iranian national building allow the use of high strength rebars in elements of ductile force resisting systems. Therefore it ...
[ 10 ] - Effect of Deformed and Plain Rebars on the Behavior of Lightly Reinforced Boundary Elements
Failure modes in recent earthquakes on lightly reinforced shear walls includes rebar fracture and out of plane buckling of its boundary elements. In latest edition of ACI 318 and also latest amendment of NZS 3101-2006 to avoid rebar fracture in boundary elements, the minimum reinforcement ratio for shear walls is increased. This experimental study investigates that rather than increasing reinfo...
[ 11 ] - Effect of Debonding of Rebars on the Seismic Response of Boundary Elements of Lightly Reinforced Shear Walls
Rebar fracture in boundary elements of lightly reinforced shear walls in recent earthquake motivated research on the minimum longitudinal reinforcement applicable to shear walls. These researches lead to change in the ACI 318-19 requirement for minimum longitudinal reinforcement in boundary elements. New ACI 318 requirement increase minimum longitudinal reinforcement ratio for boundary elements...
[ 12 ] - Seismic Performance of seat-type bridges with elastomeric bearings
In Iran and some other countries, elastomer bearings in seat-type bridges are used with no sole/masonry plates and there is no positive connection between superstructure and substructure. Different codes have diverse provisions regarding the coefficient of friction (μ) between elastomer bearing and superstructure/substructure and also the design strength of shear keys (Vsk). Developing a finite...
