Disaster Impact Assessment Using Multi-Sensor Satellite Data: An AI-Based Remote Sensing Approach
Abstract: Natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and wildfires cause significant damage to human life and infrastructure every year. Rapid and accurate assessment of the affected areas is essential for effective disaster response and recovery planning. Traditional image-based analysis using single-sensor data often fails under adverse conditions such as cloud cover, smoke, or poor lighting. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes a novel framework for disaster impact assessment using multi-sensor …

Analytical influence of soil-structure-interaction on structural performance by using ETABS
Abstract: Soil conditions have a great deal to do with damage to structures during earthquakes. Hence the study on the energy transfer mechanism from soils to buildings during earthquakes is critical for the seismic design of multi-story buildings and for upgrading existing structures. Thus, the need for research into soil–structure interaction (SSI) problems is greater than ever. Moreover, recent studies show that the effects of SSI may be detrimental to the …

Seismic Analysis of Elevated Intze Type Water Tank
Abstract: As known from previous occurrences, Elevated water tanks were heavily damaged or collapsed during earthquakes. This might be due to lack of knowledge about seismic behaviour of water tank or improper geometrical selection of staging patterns. The staging plays critical role in design of water tanks as in water tanks large mass is supported by slender staging. The main objective of this study is to understand the seismic behaviour of …

Effect of Viscoelastic Dampers on Progressive Collapse Resistance of RC Building
Abstract: Natural as well as man-made hazards may cause the failure of the primary load bearing members of buildings. The spread of an initial local failure from element to element, eventually result into the collapse of an entire structure or a large part of it, which is known as Progressive Collapse. Progressive collapse initiates when one or more primary load bearing elements get fails causing failure of the entire structure. It …

Experimental Study on Effectiveness of TMD in Reducing Torsional Motion under Harmonic Base Motion
Abstract: AbstractAsymmetry in the building could arise due to unsymmetrical distribution of mass, stiffness, damping and/or strength characteristics. The earthquake response of asymmetric buildings is characterized by coupling between translational and rotational degrees of freedom (dofs). This paper includes an experimental analysis of one storied asymmetrical building frame subjected to harmonic motion with and without tuned mass damper (TMD). Experimentation is done on a shake table and readings were recorded. The …

Analysis of the Impact of Seabed Earthquakes on Coastal Structures and Foundation Design
Abstract: Earthquakes in the seabed occur with varying magnitudes. Seabed earthquakes cause a rapid rise in water levels, which can lead to flooding and structural damage. Therefore, when designing buildings near the seashore, it is essential to account for the additional load on columns due to water thrust. Earthquakes occurring at the seabed generate intense ground acceleration of varying magnitudes, significantly affecting water levels and inducing destructive flooding along coastal regions. …
