The main objective of this paper is to study and compare different kinematics during
numerical modeling of FGM plates buckling. These kinematics, which are Classical Plate …

The paper presents a study on the evaluation of seismic fragility of cylindrical ground-
supported steel silos intended for storing solid material. Silos are a key facility in industrial …

The degradation of reinforced concrete (RC) structures has raised major concerns in the
concrete industry. The demolition of existing structures has shown to be an unsustainable …

The paper presents a study dealing with the assessment of the dynamic overpressure
induced by earthquakes in flat bottom steel silos. Silos are integral components of industrial …

In this work, a numerical study of the effects of soil-structure interaction (SSI) and granular
material-structure interaction (GSI) on the nonlinear response and seismic capacity of flat …

In this study, the effects of vertical stiffeners on the behavior of a cylindrical intake tower were
investigated. For this purpose, four vertical stiffeners with variations in height levels ranging …

Squat steel silos with a flat bottom are used worldwide on farms to store granular products
with high commercial value, especially soybeans and maize. However, many questions …

Flat bottom cylindrical silos are employed worldwide to store granular products of high
commercial value. However, many gaps still remain in relation to pressure estimation and …

Marlborough is the largest wine-growing region in New Zealand. The seismic events of Lake
Grassmere 2013 and Kaikōura 2016 caused severe business disruption to the wineries due …

Nondestructive controllable grouting is a novel method for the accurate, reliable, and
nondestructive lifting of buildings. In this method, the grouting construction is divided into …
