Designing earthquake resistant structures has been the subject of great concern among engineers and scientists. The vertical seismic resisting elements in particular, in connection with the beam and the plates in a reinforced ...

The increasing necessity to solve complex problems in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering requires the development of new ideas and innovative methods for providing accurate numerical solutions in affordable ...

In this work a number of design approaches for 3D Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings are formulated as structural optimization problems and are assessed in terms of their performance under earthquake loading. In particular, ...

A number of articles have been published, studying the issue of torsional response of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings [1], the majority of them were focused on the strength of the structural elements or the structure ...

In this work a number of design approaches for 3D Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings are formulated as structural optimization problems and are assessed in terms of the performance under earthquake loading. In particular ...

The control of flexible structures for those systems with actuators that are modeled by second order dynamics is examined. Two modeling approaches are investigated. First a stability and performance analysis is performed ...

The time domain response of non-proportionally damped or non-classical normal mode or non-Rayleigh linear lumped parameter systems, as otherwise called, is derived. Modal analysis is used to transform the governing equations ...

Several decades of research and development placed new tools in the hands of engineers, builders, supervisors, surveyors, contractors and all people associated with the construction industry. In this paper, we are referring ...

Silos are industrial facilities used for storing a huge range of different materials. They should be designed to resist several loading conditions, and their seismic behaviour, which strongly depends on the geometrical and ...

It is widely accepted that seismic design philosophies do not follow the efficiency of seismic analysis methods is quite remarkable. Torsionally unbalanced structures, is a common field where any of the proposed design ...

This article intends to investigate in a theoretical framework the possible expansion of Place Branding in a cross-border and inter-national basis in order to develop partnerships and to strengthen the relationships between ...
