This study presents the modification of surfaces of nanoclays, halloysite nanotubes (HNT) and sepiolite (SEP), with styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers (SMA) via esterification reaction between hydroxyl groups of the ...

In this study, Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method was used to model sloshing response of a rectangular tank subjected to horizontal earthquake base excitation. An experiment and a numerical study with ANSYS ...

This paper gives an account of a study performed for the raft foundation of a commercial building of considerable height and area. A raft 175 m long was designed without due consideration to the buoyancy effect due to ...

This paper presents results obtained by numerical study of sloshing effects in medium sized rectangular tanks subjected to a long-period seismic excitation. The Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method is used, and ...

Sıvı depoları; başlıca yakıt, endüstriyel kimyasallar, kullanma ve yangın söndürme suyu depolamakta kullanılan önemli mühendislik yapılarıdır. Sıvı depolarını depremin zarar verici etkilerinden korumayı hedefleyen yeni ...

In framed structures, both steel and reinforced concrete, beam-column joints play a very crucial role in terms of seismic resistance. Under the effects of high lateral seismic loads, beam-column joints are subjected to ...

Owing to their high heat absorption and release capacities, chemical and thermal stability, non-toxicity, two fatty acid alkyl esters (FAAEs), methyl palmitate (MP) and isopropyl palmitate (IPP), were investigated for their ...

A new modal pushover analysis procedure (VMPA-A) is developed and implemented in MATLAB code for three-dimensional buildings subjected to bidirectional ground motions. VMPA-A uses stepwise force patterns to represent ...

This paper presents the analytical study on the dynamic response of a natural stone block masonry minaret of a historical mosque located in Istanbul, Turkey. A three-dimensional finite element model of the whole minaret, ...
