Developing a smart civil structure, in which the structure instantaneously identifies damages during vibration and makes decisions to compensate or reduce them, is one of the new issues in the seismic control of structures. One of the most important challenges in asymmetric buildings is the torsion due to the damage occurrence in the structure during severe excitation. The aim of this study is to try to reduce the torsional effects and dynamic responses of the structure by combining two strategies, including real time structural health monitoring (SHM) and semi-active control. Hence, a new damage detection method based on identified Markov parameters of the system is proposed to identify the damage in 3-D shear model structures. Also, in order to create a smart structure, a new controller is designed to regulate mechanical characteristics of the installed adaptive stiffness devices based on the detected damages and eccentricity variations in the structure. The performance of the proposed
Today, various structural and non-structural solutions are used to control and reduce the negative effects of floods in investigation and executive projects. But what is certain is that the optimal solution to minimize flood damage is a combination of structural and non-structural methods (planning and response measures). It is essential to provide these solutions in a metropolis like Tehran because the hydrographic network of Tehran runoff is sometimes incomplete during floods and is accompanied by severe flooding. Therefore, in this study, a combination of the mentioned methods were used for a part of Tehran's Mianroud canal (as one of the most important surface water management facilities in the catchment area of west Tehran) called Ariafar Boulevard Bridge. For this purpose, in the first step, severe accident hotspots along the route were investigated and then the capacity of passing on accident-prone routes was evaluated according to hydrological information under different scenarios (discharges with return periods of 5, 10, 25 and 100 -years). The results show the adequacy of channel capacity for a 10-year return period. But for the 25, 50 and 100-year discharge, we will face 8.88%, 28.93% and 50.81% capacity shortages, respectively. In the second step, considering the structural solutions, the methods of eliminating the capacity shortage of bottlenecks, including correcting the route, installing auxiliary routes, or destroying bridges that prevented the transfer of runoff in the canal route were carefully examined. The results showed that the combined use of structural and non-structural methods increases the effectiveness and significantly reduces the risk of flood spreading in the city.
Data accessibility and the ability to evaluate data and solve hydrological, water and soil problems is considered as a fundamental limitation in the country and has been examined as a challenge in this research. In the first part of this research, the modeling of Taleghan watershed in SWAT and GIS software has been discussed, and according to the dynamics of the sub-basins, they have been investigated separately and in the form of dynamic communication. major parameters such as sedimentation, erosion, soil moisture, the type of formation and soil of the region, as well as the hydrological response of the soil, etc. have been modeled and evaluated. Before calibrating, the basin's balance and, in addition to that, formations, soil, and the influence of soil moisture and Curve number have been investigated. After hydrological cycle investigations, calibration has been done in the form of algorithm SUFI2. The precise delineation of the basin and sub-basin made it possible to show the desired and conceptual communication model with high precision in the integration communication. The erosion potential of the basin was investigated in detail and its integrated map was extracted and descriptive scenarios were proposed for it. The final part of this research focuses on the integration after the calibration of the area where the influence of sensitive parameters was determined and the integration of runoff, erosion and sedimentation, soil moisture, etc. was done. Therefore, the developed model of this research can be used as a practical and promotional model to predict productivity and integration in other susceptible areas with similar climatic characters.
