This research investigated the relation between main earthquake parameters by incorporating information about ground motions and difference in fundamental period. period is one method of assessing structural damage because it can express potential from an earthquake. Three RC (3-, 9- 12-story) frames have been analyzed under far-fault records using nonlinear dynamic analysis. Mathematical metho...

During the last two decades, attention of researchers has been focused on repairing and retrofitting concrete frames to make them more earthquake-resistant. Two methods have developed increase seismic resistance previously undamaged structures before they are subjected an earthquake. The first is through addition new structural members, such as steel braces second by selectively strengthening e...

Most reinforced concrete (RC) frames would exhibit different degrees of damage after mainshock excitations, and these mainshock-damaged RC (MD-RC) are highly vulnerable to severe or even complete collapse under aftershock excitations. In the present study, effectiveness utilizing soft steel damper (SSD) as a passive energy dissipation device for seismic retrofitting MD-RC frame actions was inve...

The flower pollination algorithm (FPA) is a highly efficient metaheuristic optimization that inspired by the process of flowering species. FPA characterised simplicity in its formulation as well high computational performance and it has been found to outperform other well-established algorithms range diverse problems. present study applies, for first time, computationally challenging optimum de...

Existing physics-based modeling approaches do not have a good compromise between performance and computational efficiency in predicting the seismic response of reinforced concrete (RC) frames, where high-fidelity models (e.g., fiber-based method) reasonable predictive but are computationally demanding, while more simplified shear building model) opposite. This paper proposes novel artificial in...

Reinforced concrete (RC) frames are commonly built together with shear walls. In high seismicity regions, constructing walls along the frame’s height is proven ineffective. Thus, in numerous studies, using at a certain beneficial, and this kind of structure popularly known as curtailed However, area above could suffer significant deformation under seismic load upgrading performance those upper ...

Due to the sheer volume of data involved, video coding is an important application of lossy source coding, and has received wide industrial interest and support as evidenced by the development and success of a series of video coding standards. All MPEG-series and H-series video coding standards proposed so far are based upon a video coding paradigm called predictive video coding, where video so...
