Historical structures, which constitute an important part of our cultural heritage, should be well protected and carried into the future. Masonry arch bridges are significant these structures. In this study, single-span Murat Bey Bridge in province Kütahya, built 1460, was studied as a numerical application. Firstly, three dimensional finite element model bridge constituted with SAP2000 program...

The gable wall of the conventional island a nuclear power plant carries various pipeline loads connecting and island. If collapses is damaged due to progressive collapse main structure island, it will directly threaten safety Therefore, great significance systematically study resistance for safe operation plants. Based on SAP2000 finite element analysis platform, this paper established model re...

Pushover analysis is an efficient method for the seismic evaluation of buildings under severe earthquakes. This paper aims to develop and verify pushover methodology reinforced concrete frames. technique depends on a nonlinear representation structure by using SAP2000 software. The properties plastic hinges will be defined generating moment-curvature all frame sections (beams columns). verifica...

In the conventional static analysis of building frames, base is idealised on rigid supports and subdivided into three parts namely, superstructure, foundation ground soil, before design. real life situations, soil underneath undergoes deformations which may alter performance structure. this paper, it studied effect type response a frame system with both fixed flexible base. The Winkler model so...

In this paper, seismic behavior of the existing buildings equipped by friction dampers is studied. Seismic performance of6-story, 9-story and 12-story steel buildings with damper and without damper were studied. The finite element modeling technique (SAP2000 Software) is used for analysis. Time History analyzing was done to achieve this purpose. For nonlinear dynamic analysis, the responses of ...

This paper focuses on Load distribution factors for horizontally curved composite concrete-steel girder bridges. The finite-element analysis software“SAP2000” is used to examine the key parameters that can influence steelgirders. A parametric study conducted load characteristics of such bridge system due dead loading and AASHTO truck using finite elements method. considered in this are: span-to...

Uma possibilidade para a redução do déficit habitacional ou construção de habitações provisórias pode ser utilização contêineres marítimos descartados ao fim sua vida útil na cadeia logística. Pela finalidade, os são estruturas robustas. No entanto, arquitetura geralmente requer inclusão aberturas, modificação das condições apoio e o empilhamento dos contêineres, levando serviço diferentes orig...

This work aims to provide an effective structural solution, minimizing the discomfort during works’ execution, for how retrofit Day-Hospital building of National Cancer Institute “G. Pascale Foundation” in Naples. The vulnerability has been preliminarily evaluated this scope, using linear static and dynamic analyses according code provisions. performance index terms peak ground acceleration (PG...

This paper analyzes and compares the responses of a two-storied steel structure to 1994 Northridge earthquake in California. Response modal nonlinear time-history dynamic analysis was especially used on with fixed-base base-isolated systems show realistic behavior structure. Intuitively, best choice for seismic isolation technique is use flexible element, or an isolator, at structure’s base, wh...
