Recently, concerning failure of structures due to earthquakes, special investigations of near fault ground motions have been noticed. Hence, in this paper, characteristics of near field ground motions have been considered ...

Damage detection has been focused by researchers because of its importance in engineering practices. Therefore, different approaches have been presented to detect damage location in structures. However, the higher the ...

In this paper, a new approach for nonlinear numerical modelling of the reinforced concrete shear walls with consideration of bar-concrete interaction and shear deformation is proposed. Bar and concrete stress-strain ...
