This study investigates the lateral impact responses of reinforced concrete (RC) and composite columns through dynamic nonlinear analysis using LS-DYNA. The simulation results were first validated against experimental performed earlier on four different cross sections. finite element show that LS-DYNA can predict well be used for further parametric analysis. overall resistance new is significan...

Being economical and performing well under cyclic loads, steel sections filled with concrete have been widely used in structural buildings. Extensive studies and experiments have been conducted to investigate the influence of different parameters and loadings on the behavior of these structural components. Based on the data available from previous experiments and studies, this paper discusses t...

Partially Encased Composite (PEC) column is one of the recent achievements in the field of composite columns. This paper presents a combined experimental and theoretical study on the mechanical performances of six octagonal PEC columns subjected to axial compressive and bending moment loading. The major different between them was the concrete reinforcement details. The parameters studied in the...

The Persian/Achaemenid Period in Anatolia continued for more than 200 years. This period had an impact many parts of Anatolia. However, the remains this vary regionally. Although archaeological findings help us understand period, Persian traces are still found researches carried out a limited number settlements Traces data better observed Western and its surroundings other regions. In light rec...
