Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of a large number of sensor nodes which are capable of sensing different environmental phenomena and sending the collected data to the base station or Sink. Since sensor nodes are made of cheap components and are deployed in remote and uncontrolled environments, they are prone to failure; thus, maintaining a network with its proper functions even when und...

Near-fault ground motions have caused very much damage in the vicinity of seismic sources during recent earthquakes. It is well known that under specific circumstances, intensive ground shakings near fault ruptures may be characterized by short-duration impulsive motions. This pulse-type motion is generally particular to the forward direction, where the fault rupture propagates towards the site...

The goal of this study is to examine the historical masonry arch bridge’s static and dynamic behavior using far-field fault earthquakes. first step build a finite element model with ANSYS SAP2000. This done see if greatest possible displacements, primary stresses, elastic strains compare. From above, belt’s upper side appears be vital for damage. Furthermore, life cycle assessment also research...

Seismic isolation systems exposed to far-fault earthquakes can reduce floor accelerations and story drift ratios acceptable levels. However, they exhibit different structural performances in each earthquake due excitation frequency contents. By optimizing the system parameters, their performance may be maintained at best level under earthquakes. In this study, optimization of parameters nonline...

This paper focuses on the identification of high-efficiency intensity measures to predict seismic response buildings affected by near- and far-fault ground motion records. Near-fault has received special attention, as it tends increase expected damage civil structures compared that from ruptures originating further afield. In order verify this tendency, nonlinear dynamic 3D multi-degree-of-free...
