This paper presents a nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete structures. Various yield surfaces of concrete are reviewed in the beginning and then a recently proposed yield surface for concrete is introduced. The yield ...

In this article, a numerical model based on the layer approach is introduced for nonlinear cyclic analysis of two-dimensional reinforced concrete frames. The advantage of the proposed analytical procedure is that it takes ...

In the present study, the in uence of the coe cient of friction on the seismic response of sliding base isolated structures is investigated. The building is modeled as a simpli ed single-story structure resting on a ...

Increasing population has dramatically increased the request for agricultural products. In addition, lands and water resources with suitable quality are limited. Therefore, optimal allocation of limited resources to ...

Performances of tuned mass dampers and friction dampers to mitigate the wave induced vibrations in jacket type o shore platforms have been compared in this study. Due to the random nature of ocean waves, a full stochastic ...
