Feb 28, 2024 · Materials with sufficient strength and stiffness can transfer nonlinear design loads without damage. The present study compares crack propagation speed and shape in rock-like …

Different types of damage (mainly visualized through cracks; especially so in concrete and masonry buildings) occur in buildings during earthquakes. Some of these cracks are …

Earthquake resistant design of buildings depends upon providing the building with strength, stiffness and inelastic deformation capacity which are great enough to withstand a given level …

Seismic design code recommends that shear link with a length ratio less than 1.6 should be used preferentially in EBF [17].However, existing researches have shown that there is a significant …

Jun 2, 2021 · Seismic design of the bridge is based on the seismic precautionary intensity of VII degrees with the PGA equaling to 0.1 g. The seismic performance is evaluated with a PGA of …

Jan 8, 2025 · Frictional motion is mediated by rapidly propagating ruptures that detach the ensemble of contacts forming the frictional interface between contacting bodies 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, …

1 day ago · The crack follows the base of the wall at the upper side of the wall, which is both shorter and more elevated than the taller, lower section in which the crack propagates directly …

6 days ago · The resulted seismic moments of the earthquake doublet were determined to be 8.27 × 10 20 Nm and 4.19 × 10 20 Nm, corresponding to moment magnitudes of M W 7.88 and M …

Diagonal cracking & crushing of concrete in joint region should be prevented to ensure good earthquake performance of RC frame buildings. Using large column sizes is the most effective …
