With the advancement in performance-based earthquake engineering, nonlinear response history analysis of structures has become more common in recent years. The selection and scaling of ground motions for use in nonlinear ...

Strong ground motion estimation tools such as empirical ground motion prediction equations rely mostly on recorded data. Good quality strong motion data became available mostly in recent years and are still sparse for near ...

Due to the killing thousands of people in the twentieth century and seismicity of our country, earthquakes are one of the most important natural hazards for our country. Therefore the earthquake resistance of structural ...

Behavior of the structures under near-field ground motions is different than behavior of the structures under far-field ground motions, in terms of strength demand or inelastic displacement demand, and therefore, design ...

Earthquake Engineering is a eld of engineering which deals with seismic forces and their e ects on structures. Earthquake engineers are responsible for estimating the earthquake risk surrounding structure's region and ...

Eskişehir basin is located at the boundary of central and western Anatolia tectonic regions. Between two active faults it extends in EW direction with two open ends. So far deep velocity structure of the basin has not been ...

Objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a hybrid isolation system for a three-storey mass concentric steel structure. The isolation system consists of 2 elastomeric bearings and 4 flat sliding bearings, ...

There is a great advance in maximum concrete compressive strengths reached throughout years. So, today we have a large variety of concrete classes that can be produced by the concrete industry. But, the use of higher ...
