Abstract: Experimental study is carried out to verify the grillage idealization for dynamic analysis of multi‐cellular structures. Perspex material is used to construct two models of same size, one with no web openings and the other ...

Abstract: The Galerkin method of weighted residuals is used in the 3‐dimensional analysis of asymmetric tall buildings subjected to lateral loads. Using polynomial shape functions, approximate displacement functions are obtained for ...

Abstract: A linearized deterministic model is proposed for the coupled lateral and torsional motions of a tall, slender structure in turbulent atmospheric boundary layer. The resultant force acting on the structure is represented ...

Abstract: Identification of damage of structures has recently received considerable attention in the light of maintenance and retrofitting of existing structures under service loads and after natural disasters. In this respect, most ...

Abstract: The vibrational effect caused by an earthquake on an asymmetrical building foundation system is determined by reducing the governing equations of motion to a set of coupled integro‐differential equations involving only the ...

Abstract: The performance of an eccentrically braced frame designed to yield in shear is investigated by the pseudo‐dynamic test. This relatively new experimental technique is suitably modified to account for the effect of inherent ...

Abstract: The effects of an inclusion on the dynamic response of a shear wall foundation system subjected to plane harmonic SH‐waves are investigated. The inclusion and foundation are modeled as having circular and semicircular cross ...
