Allowing structures to rock during an earthquake can effectively provide base isolation at a relatively small cost. Rocking limits the shear demand and provides self-centering, but rocking response depends on energy dissipation caused by interaction with soil impacts re-centering. This paper addresses computational modeling of buildings that have either been designed beneath their foundation (f...

The general solution of the axial symmetry elastic space problem in cement concrete pavement is an elementary question. Combining Love method and Southwell method, operator was used variable selection process, displacement function introduced to express component by expression stress indicated obtained combining components, geometric equations, physical then substituted into equilibrium equatio...

This article focuses on studying the nonlinear vibration of functionally graded (FG) curved nanobeams resting Pasternak-Winkler elastic foundation based nonlocal strain gradient theory along with first-order shear deformation beam (FSDBT) considering von-Kármán hypothesis. The Hamilton principle is applied to extract three motion equations and Galerkin method (GM) utilized spatially reduce diff...

By location of a building in the vicinity of underground tube structure the effect of train operation excites the groundborne vibration. The solution of vibration transfer from the subsoil environment to the building structure is demonstrated using the example of a multistorey reinforced concrete building. The application of an elastic layer at foundation base level is used in order to eliminat...

OBJECTIVES To develop and test an optimal ensemble configuration of two complementary probabilistic data matching techniques namely Fellegi-Sunter (FS) and Jaro-Wrinkler (JW) with the goal of improving record matching accuracy. METHODS Experiments and comparative analyses were carried out to compare matching performance amongst the ensemble configurations combining FS and JW against the two t...

Steganography has been practiced since ancient times. Many Linguistic Steganography (popularly known as Text based Steganography) algorithms have been proposed like Word Spacing, Substitution, Adjectives, Text Rotation, Mixed Case Font etc.. Information Hiding effectively means that the method/technique should be Robust, Secure and have good Embedding capacity. Measure of Similarity between cov...

The article focuses on the deformation and strain-stress analysis of Earth’s crust under external thermal loading. More specifically, influence cyclic changes in surface temperature field stress displacement inside over a two-year time span is investigated. finite element program MSC.Marc Mentat was used to calculate stresses displacements. For practical reasons, simplified as planar, piecewise...
