    Abstract: In the modern multi-story construction, floating column is an unavoidable feature of buildings. Such features are highly undesirable in building built in seismic prone areas. This study highlights the performance of floating column building and compared with normal building under seismic load. In this study, static and dynamic analyses using respon... Show More

    Abstract: The convergence of numerical solution based on two nodded beam finite element require considerable number of iterations and time; and is also plagued with shear locking. To address these deficiencies a three nodded beam element is proposed in this study to simulate the behavior of beams on elastic foundation. The analytical formulation of the model... Show More

    Abstract: Bridge pile foundation on large-scale deposit body bears not only the vertical force transmitted from superstructure, but the lateral force transmitted from slope deformation, so the force situation is complex. The method of solving the internal force of piles which is simulated with solid elements is put forward in the paper. Taking Dahuaqiao brid... Show More
