Abstract: This paper is concerned with buckling analysis of a nonuniform column with classical∕nonclassical boundary conditions and subjected to a concentrated axial force and distributed variable axial ...

Abstract: In this paper multi-story frame buildings are treated as shear plates with variably distributed mass and stiffness for free vibration analysis. An analytical model of a shear plate is proposed ...

Abstract: A new exact approach for analyzing free vibration of single degree of freedom (SDOF) systems with nonperiodically time varying parameters is presented in this paper. The function for describing ...

Abstract: In this paper, tall buildings with shear-wall structures and with narrow rectangular plane configuration are modeled as flexural-shear plates for buckling analysis. The differential equations that govern the buckling ...

Abstract: An analytical approach is proposed for determining vibratory characteristics of cracked Timoshenko beams. Based on the rotational spring model for describing the local flexibility induced by a crack and the developed ...

Abstract: A new exact approach for forced vibration analysis of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems with nonperiodically time-varying parameters (mass and stiffness) is presented. In this paper, the variations of mass and ...

Abstract: Wind characteristics in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) and structural performance under extreme wind conditions are of major concern in the design of tall buildings in tropical cyclone-prone regions. On August 22, ...

Abstract: The loads on buildings and structures caused by the buffeting action of wind have traditionally been analyzed using the gust loading factor (GLF) approach in most codes and standards. In the GLF approach, the equivalent ...

Abstract: Wind-driven rain (WDR) on building facades may lead to water penetration, cladding damage, structural cracking, etc., which affect the durability of the claddings. This study aims to develop a numerical approach to the ...
