## Abstract The inelastic seismic torsional response of simple structures is examined by means of shearβbeam type models as well as with plastic hinge idealization of oneβstory buildings. Using mean values of ductility factors, obtained for groups of ten earthquake motions, as the basic index of po

## Abstract A modified force analogy method (MFAM) is developed to simulate the nonlinear inelastic response of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Beamβcolumn elements with three different plastic mechanisms are utilized to simulate inelastic response caused by moment and shear force. A multiβlin
Roughness images of fractured steel surfaces were recorded at micrometric level (100-10 000 nm) using an atomic force microscope. We have observed a power law variation of the profile root-mean-square YS. the analysis length. If there is no overall tilt of the images, this variation is indicative of
## Abstract This paper presents evidence that the extension of conclusions based on the widely used simplified, one story, eccentric systems of the shearβbeam type, to actual, nonsymmetric buildings and consequent assessments of the pertinent code provisions, can be quite erroneous, unless special
## Abstract Rapid flow in connected preferential flow paths is crucial for fast transport of water and solutes through soils, especially at tileβdrained field sites. In the present study, we propose a spatially explicit approach to represent worm burrows as connected structures of realistic geometr
