seismic retrofit strategies have been developed in the past few decades following the introduction of new seismic provisions and the availability of advanced materials and methods. it can be observed that new approaches to deal with more lateral forces are more innovative and more energy absorbent. in line with this, there is a growing trend toward the use of steel shear walls as a system with ...

Loco-granite and granodiorite intrusive bodies have cut the Naiband and Sangestan Formations in Darreh-Zerreshk area in southwest margins of Shirkooh batholite. This intrusion has caused weak metamorphism and copper hydrothermal mineralization in permeable Sangestan Formation. The characteristics minerals are magnetite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, bournite and dyajenite. The studied area is composed ...

The granite-gneiss body of  Abadchi area (vicinity of Zayandeh-Rud dam) is a part of Sanandaj-Sirjan tectonic zone. The mineralogical composition of the granite- gneisses contains quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase, biotite and muscovite and minor minerals of opaque, zircon, amphibole and allanite. The granite-gneiss rocks have been influenced by deformation dynamics and weakly Na-metazomatism. Ge...

The Eocene volcanic rocks exposed in the NW Sechangi area of Lut block, include pyroclastic deposits and lavas. These volcanic rocks are basalt, basaltic andesite, andesite, andesite-trachyandesite, trachydacite, dacite and rhyolite-ignimbrite in composition. Based on our field observations, the volcanic rocks erupted in four stages in the aquous to subaerial environments. The volcanic rocks ar...

The Shah Jahan Granodiorite and granite rocks are part of the Ordubad granitoid body that outcrop in 10 km south of Aras River. These rocks are located in the Alborz-Azerbaijan zone in NW of Iran. The Granodiorite Pluton has granular texture; containing minerals are plagioclase (andesine), alkali feldspar (orthoclase), amphibole (magnesio-hornblende) biotite, titanite and magnetite. Alkali feld...

Lahijan granitoid pile, east of Gillan Province, petrographically comprises of mostly two group rocks: felsics (granite, porphyry granite and granodiorite) and mafics (diorite) and in terms of magmatic series belong to subalkaline and are mostly calcalkaline. The contact between the pile and surrounding rocks is faulty and includes myllonitic and cataclastic rocks yet there is no metamorphic ha...
