Overview and Analysis of Seismic Resilient Structures with Modular Rocking Shear Walls
Mehrdad Aghagholizadeh
The high occupancy rates in urban multi-story buildings, combined with present safety concerns, necessarily prompt a reassessment of performance goals. Given the notable seismic da…
Seismic Response of Yielding Structures Coupled to Rocking Walls with Supplemental Damping
Mehrdad Aghagholizadeh, Nicos Makris
Given that the coupling of a framing structure to a strong, rocking wall enforces a first-mode response, this paper investigates the dynamic response of a yielding single-degree-of…
A finite element model for seismic response analysis of free-standing rocking columns with vertical dampers
Mehrdad Aghagholizadeh
This paper investigates finite-element modeling of a vertically damped free-standing rocking column. The paper first derives the nonlinear equation of motion for the coupled system…
Comparative Analysis and Evaluation of Two Prestressed Girder Bridges
Mehrdad Aghagholizadeh, Necati Catbas
A comparative analysis of two bridges constructed with the most commonly used girder types in Florida is carried out. The girder types that the bridges are employed for this study…
Earthquake Response Analysis of Yielding Structures Coupled with Rocking Walls
Mehrdad Aghagholizadeh, Nicos Makris
This paper investigates the inelastic response of a yielding structure coupled with a rocking wall which can be vertically restrained. The paper first derives the nonlinear equatio…
Study on Dynamics of an Elastic Oscillator Coupled with a Rocking Wall
Mehrdad Aghagholizadeh
This paper studies the dynamics of an elastic single degree of freedom oscillator (representing an elastic frame) coupled with a rocking wall. Two types of rocking walls namely ste…
