Globally, cement is only second to water as the most consumed material with over 6 billion
tons being produced every year. However, it is the most energy-intensive and expensive …

A novel trigonometric shear deformation plate theory (TSDPT) is proposed for the vibrational
characteristics of the functionally graded graphene-reinforced metal matrix nanocomposite …

Seismic response analysis assesses structural safety and integrity during earthquakes and
guides design for optimal performance, compliance with regulations, and risk mitigation …

This paper deals with the seismic column design of 35 elevated RC water storage tanks.
Tanks comprise a top conic trunk reservoir, a column with variable hollow square cross …

A nonlinear fluid–structure interaction (FSI) model is presented for nonlinear vibration
analysis of sandwich cylindrical shells subjected to an external compressible flow by …

Water, a vital resource for sustaining life, requires proper storage. Elevated water tanks are
constructed to serve this purpose. These tanks must operate reliably, even during and after …

Elevated water tanks are considered crucial infrastructure due to their significant role in
supporting essential services. A strong ground motion may result in a failure or significant …

The functionality of elevated water tanks is pivotal to assure after an earthquake as water
supply is expected to be uninterrupted. Although elevated water tanks with deformed bars …

There is a growing need for monitoring the structural health conditions of aging structures
and for prioritizing maintenance works to extend their safe service life. This requires cheap …

The seismic vulnerability assessment of existing structures is a well-known challenging task,
due to a combination of several aspects. The use of analytical or finite element (FE) …
