The greatest differences were when the ratio of loading frequency to the natural frequency of the structure, considering the damping ratio, was greater than 6.75. The effect of earthquakes as loads on structures, considering...

... ) was developed in the Fortran programming language to simulate the superelastic behaviour of nickel titanium SMA in the Abaqus software program. Both single and coupled wall systems were modelled and subjected to non-linear time-history analyses using the El Centro (1940) and Koyna (1967) earthquake records...

Three-dimensional finite-element models of identical three-storey buildings separated by 50 mm were analysed in the SAP2000 software program for non-interaction analysis, soil–structure interaction ( SSI ) and SSSI scenarios using four Indian earthquake records. Results reveal SSSI...

...Rajaram Chenna A new ground motion prediction equation ( GMPE ) has been developed to estimate horizontal ground motions generated by shallow earthquakes. This equation is developed through multi-linear regression analysis and is valid across a wide range of hypocentral distances and moment...

The two-dimensional frames were subjected to far-field, pulse near-field and no-pulse near-field earthquake records and the collapse margin ratios (CMRs) and fragility curves of the models were obtained. The developed component-based mechanical model accurately predicted the monotonic...
