Sustainability addresses the need to reduce structure’s impact on environment but does not environment’s structure. To explore this relationship, study focuses quantifying of green roofs or vegetated seismic responses such as story displacements, interstory drifts, and floor level accelerations. Using an archetype three-story steel moment frame, nonlinear time history analyses are conducted in ...

In this study the integrated system for progressive collapse analysis, which can evaluate the damage level of every member and automatically construct the modified structural model for the next analysis step, has been developed. The existing nonlinear analysis program code OpenSees was used as a finite element solver in the integrated system for progressive collapse analysis. The developed inte...

Many recent research studies focused on the development of innovative seismic resilient structures by chasing objectives minimising both damage and repair time, hence allowing definition able to go back undamaged, fully functional condition, in a short time. In this context, present study investigates an type self-centring damage-free steel column base (CB) connection its beneficial effects whe...

Pile foundations is a well-studied technique with many applications and its benefits on structures have been widely studied in the literature. In particular, mutual effects of pile flexibility soil deformability may significantly modify seismic behaviour superstructures. order to consider uncertainties that are connected these issues, paper applies probabilistic-based approach fragility curves ...
