In common construction practice, various examples can be found involving a building type
consisting of a lower, older, reinforced concrete structure and a more recent upper steel part …

In the current research, the elastoplastic behaviour of symmetrical and asymmetrical
reinforced concrete buildings is explored by dynamic analysis. The used ground excitations …

Seismic bearings have been used to mitigate the harmful effect of the earthquakes. Torsion
mode, one of the most important irregularities, generally increases the shear forces to the …

The Soil–Structure Interaction (SSI) effect has been widely evidenced during several
earthquakes around the world. In the Venezuelan context, the seismic event in Caracas in …

The general assumption of a rigid base at the bottom of building structures during analysis
and design underestimates the seismic response. Building structures resting on loose sand …

Following effective seismic codes, common buildings are considered to be made of the
same material throughout the story distribution and based on an ideal rigid soil. However, in …

The finite element model of a new staggered story isolated structure is established. Using
the time-history analysis method, the dynamic response state of the structure at each time …

The impact of the dynamic soil-structure interaction (DSSI) on the response of a single-span
footbridge to mining-induced shocks was assessed. Firstly, the eigen values, modes and …

To make the design process, simplified; worldwide seismic codes incorporate response
reduction factor (R), to account for the nonlinear response of structures using static linear …

The new staggered story isolated structure is developed according to the base-isolated
structure and the mid-story isolated structure. Quantitative calculation and evaluation of …
