This study based on free vibration analysis and study the behavior of framed structure under different frequency of vibration using ANSYS software and shaking table. A small scale uni-axial shaking table was prepared in laboratory, which can produce lower to moderate vibration, regarding frequency and velocity. Moment resisting framed structures constructed with connecting beam and column eleme...

Highlights Focused Ion Beam Lithography is a very powerful technique for directly writing patterns on many substrates, it is a mask-less and resist-less technique that allows a very wide range of applications, providing a resolution down to 10 nm. Joined to the Electron Beam Lithography and the Gas Deposition System it became a very versatile tool for many fabrication processes. Using a dual-be...

The response of moment resisting frame structures to seismic excitation is strongly dependent on the ability of particular structural members to sustain relatively large inelastic deformations without significant degradation of lateral and axial load-carrying capacity. Conventional reinforced concrete frame structures are typically designed according to the strong column/weak beam concept, whic...

Since the earthquakes in Northridge and Kobe in 1994 and 1995, respectively, many investigations have been carried out towards improving the strength and ductility of steel beam to column pre- and post-Northridge connections. In order to achieve these objectives, recent researches are mainly focused on three principles: reducing the beam section to improve the beam ductility, adding different k...
