Earthquake disasters can cause enormous social and economic damage, therefore the sustainability of infrastructure requires mitigation earthquake consequences. In seismic design infrastructures, it is essential to estimate response site during earthquake. Geotechnical engineers have developed quantitative methods for analyzing ground response. This study proposes a multilayer perceptron (MLP) m...

in this paper a simple model of a three story building with inclined first-story columns has presented. the stories are supposed to be rigid and are connected to axially rigid mass less columns by elasto-plastic rotational springs and linear rotational dampers. the considered model is subjected to horizontal component of fault normal pulse with different magnitudes and the governed nonlinear di...

For performance-based design, nonlinear dynamic structural analysis using various types of input ground motions is required. Stochastic (simulated) ground motions are sometimes useful as input motions, because their properties can be varied systematically to study the impact of ground-motion properties on structural response, and producing large numbers of ground motions is simple. This paper d...

Adaptive Incremental Dynamic Analysis (AIDA) is a novel ground motion selection scheme that adaptively changes the ground motion suites at different ground motion intensity levels to match hazardconsistent properties for structural response assessment. Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA), a current dynamic response history analysis practice in Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE), use...

A frequency domain dynamic analysis is needed to obtain the response of structures constructed on a system of base isolators on flexible soil when subjected to earthquake ground motion. In such systems, the lateral stiffness of the base isolators is so small, compared to the structural stiffness, that in an earthquake attack the fundamental vibration mode dominates the response. With this in mi...

Dynamic Ratcheting (DR) is a nonlinear dynamic phenomenon occurring in hysteretic damping systems. It means the structural plastic deformation increases asymmetrically in successive cycles under an earthquake excitation. Although it is generally recognized that DR is closely related to the frequency contents of an earthquake excitation applied to thestructure, no targeted analysis has bee...

In this article, we study the semilinear elliptic equation −∆u = |u|p(x)−2u, x ∈ R u ∈ D(R ), where N ≥ 3, p(x) = ( p, x ∈ Ω 2∗, x 6∈ Ω, with 2 < p < 2∗ := 2N/(N − 2), Ω ⊂ RN is a bounded set with nonempty interior. By using the Nehari manifold, we obtain a positive ground state solution.
