The paper presents experimental and numerical results for selected built‐up steel columns
filled with concrete. The laboratory tests were accompanied by numerical analysis carried …

A phase picking algorithm has been developed for P-wave arrival detection and picking on a
3-component broadband seismogram. The algorithm is based on Wavelet Transform, Akaike …

The effectiveness of FRP jackets for increasing the compression strength, shear strength
and ductility of reinforced concrete (RC) columns was demonstrated in many studies, but the …

In general, the analysis and design of buildings must satisfy two criteria. First, under
frequently occurring low to moderate earthquakes, the structure should have sufficient …

On 26 December 2003 an earthquake of magnitude Ms= 6.5 with a focal depth of about 8km
occurred in southeastern Iran. The earthquake caused intense ground shaking throughout …

The significance of near-surface attenuation in bedrock, as distinct from attenuation in
unconsolidated soft soil sediments, has been identified. The k parameter, which …

Topographic conditions play an important role on the modification of seismic ground motion.
Therefore, their effects may become crucial in the selection or simulation of ground motion …

In the seismic response analysis of large structures the effects of differential support
excitation should be considered. The differential support excitation may be due to …

Earthquake fault ruptures may emerge at the ground surface causing large differential
movements. Fault ruptures can cause significant damage when they emerge at or adjacent …

This paper gives a brief explanation of the earthquake in Bam, casualties, as well as a report
on rescue and relief operations, emergency shelters, temporary housing, and the country's …
