Abstract: An exploratory study is made of the possible application of active control systems to tall buildings in along‐wind motion. An analytical procedure is developed to compute the statistical properties of the structural response ...

Abstract: This paper presents results of a series of single shear tests of carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) bonded concrete prisms exposed to three environmental conditions, namely, temperature cycles, wet-dry cycles, and ...

Abstract: The present research intends to study the effects of the seismic soil-pile-structure interaction (SSPSI) on the dynamic response of buildings with various heights by conducting a series of shaking table tests on 5-, 10-story, ...

Abstract: A quasi-steady duct flow through a parallel plate model for electrorheological (ER) and magnetorheological (MR) fluids under shear-flow mode is investigated mathematically. To do so Herschel-Bulkley power law constitutive ...

Abstract: A series of numerical simulations were carried out on two types of superstructures and six types of piled raft foundations to investigate the effects of seismic soil–pile–structure interaction (SSPSI) on the seismic responses ...

Abstract: The seismic excitation experienced by structures is a function of the earthquake source, travel path effects, local site effects, and soil-structure interaction (SSI) influences. The result of the first three of these ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the benchmark control problems for seismically excited nonlinear buildings. The benchmark study focuses on three typical steel structures, 3-, 9-, and 20-story buildings designed for the SAC project ...

Abstract: Random vibration of rotating machines subjected to seismic excitations is analyzed in which the six‐component earthquake ground motions are modeled as nonstationary random processes. The six‐component earthquake inputs ...

Abstract: An investigation is made of the possible application of an active mass damper control system to tall buildings excited by strong wind turbulence. The effectiveness of active control system, as measured by the reduction of ...
