Abstract: A response spectrum based stochastic approach is developed for analyzing the earthquake response of structures with uncertain properties. For this purpose, expressions for the variances of root-mean-square values of various ...

Abstract: In its present form the response spectrum superposition technique provides only the highest peak of the response at various levels of a multistory structure. For better understanding of the progressing damage as the structure ...

Abstract: Detailed performance monitoring studies have been carried out for determining the deformations and stress distribution around underground powerhouse caverns in nonhomogeneous rock mass, using three-dimensional finite element ...
