Endurance time (ET) method is a novel Time History Analysis‏‏(THA) approach in which
structures are subjected to a set of intensifying excitations called endurance time excitation …

The aim of this study is to investigate the performance of isolated structures by considering
the possibility of impact under severe earthquakes. In the design of isolated structures, the …

This study aims to improve the performance of thermoelastic triangular elements. New
triangular elements are proposed with different degrees of freedom. Plane stress models are …

In this research, the superstructure behavior in isolated structures has been studied based
on their ductility. For this purpose, three tall structures isolated by triple friction pendulum …

Investigations from past earthquakes have shown that underground subway stations can
suffer excessive deformation under strong seismic loads, leading to the damage of critical …

The possibility of detuning resulting from liquid depth fluctuation and low damping
characteristics for being deep tanks hinder the utilization of overhead water tanks (OWTs) as …

Limited research on the pounding of adjacent isolated buildings (floor-to-floor pounding)
and conflicting results about the effect of ductility on pounding severity highlight the need for …

Bridges are among the key elements of the transportation network. Many bridges are
severely damaged or destroyed when subjected to earthquakes. One of the effective …

Isolator systems are among the methods to control the structure's response. Increasing the
natural period of structures is one of the methods of strengthening structures against …

Determining the impact of pulse-type earthquake characteristics on the vulnerability of base-
isolated buildings under non-pounding conditions has yielded conflicting results in previous …
