“…OOP has been introduced in structural engineering software in the 1990s, much after OOP languages had become available, and the OOP principles have been promoted by relevant research work [13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. However, the advantages of OOP have been appreciated only by a very small number of researchers.…”

Base-isolated buildings experience large horizontal relative displacements during strong earthquakes due to the excessive fl exibility that is purposely incorporated, through seismic bearings, at their bases. When the available clearance around a base-isolated building is limited, there is a possibility of the building pounding against the surrounding moat wall or adjacent structures. Considering the nonlinearities involved in this structural impact problem, it is evident that the effects of potential pounding on the overall seismic response of base-isolated buildings during earthquake excitations should be investigated numerically through appropriate simulations. Object-oriented programming (OOP), design patterns (DPs), and the Java programming language have been utilized in order to design and implement a fl exible and extendable software application that can be effectively used to perform the necessary numerical simulations and parametric studies of base-isolated buildings that may experience structural poundings during earthquake excitations. The aim of this paper is twofold: (i) to explain the signifi cant advantages of utilizing OOP, DPs, and Java in structural analysis software and (ii) to use the developed software to study earthquake-induced poundings of base-isolated buildings.

The purpose of this research is to examine the mental frameworks used by computer science students after their first semester of study of database systems. We explore the commonalities and differences in these frameworks across different universities and instructors. In addition, our research analyzes whether the students are able to consistently group important concepts within their frameworks. The questions this research aimed to answer include the following: As perceived by the students, what are the most important and least important concepts in the introductory DB course? How much do these perceptions vary among students, instructors, and institutions? Can we create a profile of important concepts for each course? And finally, how do students organize database concepts into a unified framework? We discovered that some database topics were universally considered important, while perceptions varied considerably for other concepts. We believe that other instructors may be able to use this method to identify and evaluate the mental frameworks they are presenting to their students.
