In order to design buildings against earthquakes, it is necessary to get comprehensive information about their behavior against the forces induced by earthquakes. According to the structural codes, the designed structures ...

In this paper the effect of axial load on dynamic behavior of a simple frame, subjected to harmonic, seismic and earthquake excitation is investigated. The equations of motion are considered for two types of small and large ...

In most road pavements design methods, a solution is required to transform the traffic spectrum to standard axle load with using equivalent axle load factor (EALF). The EALF depends on various parameters, but in existing ...

The object of this research is to compare the behavior of floating and end bearing stone columns made of recycled aggregates of building debris with natural aggregate. To do so, both types of stone columns were constructed ...

In the current experimental work, the simultaneous effect of fineness modulus, water-to-cementitious materials [W/(C+M)], and also micro silica content were investigated on workability, mechanical and physical properties ...

In order to design seismic-resistant buildings, it is necessary to get comprehensive information about their behavior against the forces induced by earthquakes. Seismic design codes have been developed to meet the requirements ...
