Abstract: Framed-foundations supporting rotary machines are either supported on a raft foundation or on a pile foundation, depending on the type of soil conditions, loadings, and other functioning requirements. Influence of ...

Abstract: Analytical seismic responses of structures retrofitted using base isolation devices are investigated and the retrofit schemes are illustrated. The retrofitting of various important structures using seismic isolation technique ...

Abstract: Researchers have identified the dependency structure matrix (DSM) as a potential tool to explicitly identify iteration blocks and to evaluate the resulting sequence. Factors such as duration of activity, duration of rework, ...

Abstract: Effects of different structural configurations, member orientations and standoff distances on blast-induced failure of steel frame buildings are investigated through development of fragility curves. Three steel frame ...

Abstract: Multistory building construction projects involve time and economy considerations. In this study, an approach to determine a time-optimized solution for speedy construction using a genetic algorithm for a multistory building ...
