The seismic events of magnitudes 7.7 and 7.6 that occurred in the Pazarcik and Elbistan
districts of Kahramanmaras, respectively, resulted in a disastrous aftermath characterized by …

This paper presents a novel energy dissipation device called NWS-TADAS and its
experimental validation. The device was inspired by the flexural failure of the top plate of …

Unexpected damages or failures of steel pipes in refineries cause significant disruption to
economic activity. While research has been conducted on the prevention of damage to steel …

This paper presented an innovative uplift-restraining friction pendulum bearing (UR-FPB) to
address the limitations of traditional FPBs, which are unable to withstand vertical tensile …

The seismic performance of friction isolated structure is greatly affected by the friction
coefficient, and the combination of low friction material and limit device is an available …

The present study investigates the effects of the degradation of mechanical properties
(pinching, stiffness degradation, and strength degradation) in load-deformation relationship …

The seismic analysis of ground-supported cylindrical steel tanks subjected to lateral
harmonic displacement loadings has been carried out. This paper numerically evaluates the …

The stress at the support structure of the clarification tank is large, which will have a certain
impact on the whole clarification tank structure. The typical stress concentration …

In recent earthquakes, besides the sloshing of the content and the failure of piping systems,
among the most common damages suffered by traditional fixed-base steel tanks, there is the …

This study investigates the seismic behaviour of a special mixed steel-reinforced concrete
structure that supports an oil refinery reactor. The structure is 64.90 m tall and consists of …
