On the other hand, it is one of the major causes of death and disability, so it leads to the important area of research on preventi...

the base isolation systems are among the passive control devices that have been used over the last three decades to limit the seismic-induced response of structures. in this regard, the uniform building code provisions (ubc) has incorporated a special section for the seismic design of base isolated structures since its 1991 edition. due to the importance of the behavior of these structures unde...

Seismic activity is associated with crustal stress relaxation, creating inelastic strain in a medium due to faulting. Inelastic strain affects the stress field around a weak body and causes stress concentration around the body, because the body itself has already released stress. Therefore, the understanding of inelastic deformation is important as it generates earthquakes. We investigated aver...

1. introduction the earth's crust is composed of various landforms. these forms are constantly changing. in this change, both of internal and external factors have a decisive role. the internal factors led to the formation of the primary structure and external factors that cause erosion, deformation and destruction of these forms. areas that have been affected by these activities confronted by ...

bandar abbas (center of hormozgan province) is the most important port city in the south of iran because of its historical places, cultural, economic, social and political importance. high risk of earthquake occurrence in this city and its province indicates the necessity of surveying the seismic vulnerability of buildings. the object of this paper is collected from existing buildings, compiled...
