Compared to traditional onsite steel construction, prefabricated industrial steel construction
(PFISC) saves time, money, and resources. It results in sustainable steel structures that use …

Localization and quantification of structural damage and estimating the failure probability
are key outputs in the reliability assessment of structures. In this study, an Artificial Neural …

Material science advancements have resulted in the development of high-strength concrete
and steel reinforcement, allowing more efficient and stable buildings against natural and …

Excessive lateral deformation of frame structures under seismic action leads to overall
dynamic instability. This means that the stiffness of the structures need to be increased …

The nonlinear dynamic analysis is the most sophisticated evaluation method for vertically
irregular structures under the effect of the earthquake because the higher mode effects are …

English Thanks to significant advances in materials science, researchers have managed to
fabricate and develop different types of concrete proportional to application of new concrete …

This dissertation introduces approximate dynamic programming (ADP) techniques to identify
near-optimal recovery strategies following extreme natural hazards. The proposed …

Subterranean floors are treated as the rigid lateral support in the current practice for the
basement wall design. The structural performance of the basement wall will be influenced by …

Although rigid floor diaphragm is a reasonable assumption for seismic analysis, certain
building configurations may exhibit diaphragm flexibility. Detailed investigations have been …

Cities became one of the main centers for conducting research due to the fact that they are
the main places where people gather. One of the problems that plague the city today …
