Considering the dependency of control algorithms to the structural dynamic properties that are affected by soil structure interactions (SSI), the investigation of SSI effect on different control methods has gained great ...

Many structures exhibit non-orthogonal systems irregularity based on architectural design, which is a type of torsional irregularity. This paper evaluates the inelastic response of multi-story steel moment resisting frames ...

Wind-induced loads are largely dependent upon the exterior shape of buildings, and one highly effective procedure to mitigate them is to apply aerodynamic shape modifications in the aerodynamic optimization procedure (AOP). ...

Resilient modulus (Mr) of subgrade soils is considered as one of the most important factors for designing flexible pavements using empirical methods as well as mechanistic-empirical methods. The resilient modulus is commonly ...

Brick infill walls are one of the most common types of nonstructural elements used for exterior enclosures as well as interior partitions in steel frame buildings. The recent earthquakes have shown that damage to masonry ...

The high production of nickel slag waste (NSW) from nickel ore processing has an impact on environmental damage because it is not utilized properly for solid waste products to make practical building materials that are ...

Accidents from heights are rampant and are rising day by day, with a higher number of injuries and deaths recorded in the construction industry. Some of the impacts of these incidents are the characteristic nature of the ...
