INFLUENCE OF SEISMIC POUNDING ON RC BUILDINGS WITH AND WITHOUT BASE ISOLATION SYSTEM SUBJECT TO NEAR-FAULT GROUND MOTIONS

Influence of Seismic Pounding on RC Buildings with and without Base Isolation System Subject to Near-Fault Ground Motions

Building pounding occurs between two adjacent buildings with small gap or without sufficient separation distance.It leads to damage buildings during earthquake due to impact.Many researchers have investigated building pounding based on impact force reduction and energy dissipation increase, when two buildings collide with each other.In numerical in

Approaches to modelling the shape of nanocrystals

Abstract Unlike in the bulk, at the nanoscale shape dictates properties.The imperative to understand and predict nanocrystal shape led to the development, over several decades, of a large number of mathematical models and, later, their software implementations.In this review, the various mathematical approaches used to model crystal shapes are firs
