Iran is one of the most seismically active countries of the world located on the Alpine-Himalayan earthquake belt. More than
180,000 people were killed due to earthquakes in Iran during the last five decades. Considering the fact that most Iranians
live in masonry and non-engineered houses, having a comprehensive program for decreasing the vulnerability of society holds
considerable importance. For this reason, loss estimation should be done before an earthquake strikes to prepare proper information
for designing and selection of emergency plans and the retrofitting strategies prior to occurrence of earthquake. The loss
estimation process consists of two principal steps of hazard analysis and vulnerability assessment. After identifying the
earthquake hazard, the first step is to evaluate the vulnerability of residential buildings and lifelines and also the social
and economic impacts of the earthquake scenarios. Among these, residential buildings have specific importance, because their
destruction will disturb the daily life and result in casualties. Consequently, the vulnerability assessment of the buildings
in Iran is important to identify the weak points in the built environment structure. The aim of this research is to prepare
vulnerability curves for the residential buildings of Iran to provide a proper base for estimating probable damage features
by future earthquakes. The estimation may contribute fundamentally for better seismic performance of Iranian societies. After
a brief review of the vulnerability assessment methods in Iran and other countries, through the use of the European Macroseismic
method, a model for evaluating the vulnerability of the Iranian buildings is proposed. This method allows the vulnerability
assessment for numerous sets of buildings by defining the vulnerability curves for each building type based on the damage
observations of previous earthquakes. For defining the vulnerability curves, a building typology classification is presented
in this article, which is representative of Iranian building characteristics. The hazard is described in terms of the macroseismic
intensity and the EMS-98 damage grades have been considered for classifying the physical damage to the buildings. The calculated
vulnerability indexes and vulnerability curves show that for engineered houses there is not any notable difference between
the vulnerability of Iranian and Risk-UE building types. For the non-engineered houses, the vulnerability index of brick and
steel structures is less than the corresponding values of the other unreinforced masonry buildings of Iran. The vulnerability
index of unreinforced and masonry buildings of Iran are larger than the values of the similar types in Risk-UE and so the
Iranian buildings are more vulnerable in this regard. 相似文献

An approximate analytical solution has been established for the well known Richards’ equation for unsaturated flow of transports in soils. Despite the importance of Richards’ equation in geotechnical and geoenvironmental applications, most solutions to the problem are generally based on numerical methods often having limitations in application. It is therefore advantageous to explore analytical solutions to the problem. The proposed solution is based on homotopy analysis method (HAM). The method is superior over traditional perturbation techniques in a sense that it is not dependent on the assumption of a small parameter as the initial step. Several simple cases have been explored to describe the application of HAM to Richards’ equation. The results obtained by HAM are also compared with existing solutions to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed method. 相似文献

Evaluation of public participation in reconstruction of Bam,Iran, after the 2003 earthquake 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
In the midst of the ever-increasing natural and human-induced disasters, where many of the preparedness and mitigation measures
show inefficiencies, there is narrow margin for decision-makers to make mistakes by misallocating budgets, designing infeasible
reconstruction plans, and in other terms, making decisions not in line with the public preferences. In particular, public
participation in post-disaster measures seems undoubtedly necessary to reduce the possible economic, social, political, and
cultural conflicts around the stressful community after a major disaster. This paper aims at evaluating the role of public
participation in increasing the reconstruction phase efficiency through a case study of the reconstruction process in Bam,
a southeastern Iranian city, after the 2003 earthquake. It is attempted to identify the major motivators of the public participation
through a combination of quantitative and qualitative studies. Statistical data are generated through a set of questionnaires
being filled by a number of 200 randomly selected survivors. The numerical results were then discussed through the Focus Group
technique sessions to determine the main contributors to the public participation. It is later found that the answers are
found among the performance of the reconstruction authorities, financial policies, emotional resiliency of the survivors,
public information mechanisms, public satisfaction, the pace of reconstruction, and temporary housing policies. 相似文献

This paper presents the geotechnical properties of a new family of synthetic transparent soils made of fused quartz, saturated with a matched refractive index water-based sucrose solution, suitable for modeling the behavior of sand in small-scale model tests. The dry density ranged between 1,134 and 1,358 kg/m3. The peak angle of friction was found to range from 46° to 57°. The average hydraulic conductivity was 1.7 × 10?5 cm/s. The compressibility index (C c) ranged from 0.34 to 0.57. The main advantage of fused quartz over available sand surrogates made of silica gel is that its solid structure better models the behavior of natural sand. The matching pore fluids are inert and non-toxic, which facilitates their use in educational settings. The availability of a safe and easy-to-use transparent sand permits measurement of three-dimensional deformation patterns and flow characteristics in controlled research experiments. The introduction of an aqueous solution permits the use of two immiscible pore fluids, one made of mineral oil and the other made of a sucrose solution, for modeling multiphase flow problems, as well as coupled flow-deformation problems. 相似文献

Flood occurrence has always been one of the most important natural phenomena, which is often associated with disaster. Consequently,
flood forecasting (FF) and flood warning (FW) systems, as the most efficient non-structural measures in reducing flood loss
and damage, are of prime importance. These systems are low cost and the time required for their implementation is relatively
short. It is emphasized that for designing the components of these systems for various rivers, climatic conditions and geographical
settings different methods are required. One of the major difficulties during implementing these systems in different projects
is the fact that sometimes the main functions of these systems are ignored. Based on a systematic and practical approach and
considering the components of these systems, it would be possible to extract the most essential key functions of the system
and save time, effort and money by this way. For instance, in a small watershed with low concentration and small lead time,
the main emphasis should be on predicting and monitoring weather conditions. In this article, different components of flood
forecasting and flood warning systems have been introduced. Then analysis of the FF and FW system functions has been undertaken
based on the value engineering (VE) technique. Utilizing a functional view based on function analysis system technique (FAST),
the total trend of FF and FW functions has been identified. The systematic trend and holistic view of this technique have
been used in optimizing FF and FW systems of the Golestan province and Golabdare watersheds in Iran as the case studies. 相似文献

Reconstruction management policies in residential and commercial sectors after the 2003 bam earthquake in Iran 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
In the very early hours of 26th December 2003, a devastating and strong earthquake with a magnitude of 6.5 struck Bam, one
of the historical cities of Kerman province in the south of Iran. According to the official reports, more than 30,000 were
killed and about 25,000 injured. More than 80% of the town’s buildings were also destroyed. After the disaster, Bam’s reconstruction
management process was presented with a lot of challenges and faced many fundamental questions. The number of human losses
and related social issues, extensive destruction of the historical town, and also the lack of good experience in the reconstruction
of a city or town made the reconstruction project of Bam more complicated. The reconstruction of Bam was the most important
post-disaster reconstruction project among recent reconstructions in Iran. Many factors, such as concern over the government
and international agencies, the new managerial approaches, and the application of appropriate reconstruction methods, made
it different from the other reconstruction programs. Thus, the post-earthquake reconstruction of Bam is investigated in this
research with respect to the importance of this issue. The aim behind this article is to give a brief explanation of the earthquake
reconstruction management policies in Bam and also the plans for the reconstruction and rebuilding of urban residential and
commercial units. 相似文献

Suitable materials for use as shell of embankment dams are clean coarse-grained soils or natural rockfill. In some sites these materials may not be available at an economic distance from the dam axis. The use of in-situ cohesive soils reinforced with geotextiles as the shell is suggested in this study for such cases. Dynamic behavior of reinforced embankment dam is evaluated through fully coupled nonlinear effective stress dynamic analysis. A practical pore generation model has been employed to incorporate pore pressure build up during cyclic loading. Parametric analyses have been performed to study the effect of reinforcements on the seismic behavior of the reinforced dam. Results showed that reinforcements placed within the embankment reduce horizontal and vertical displacements of the dam as well as crest settlements. Maximum shear strains within the embankment also decreased as a result of reinforcing. Furthermore, it was observed that reinforcements cause amplification in maximum horizontal crest acceleration. 相似文献

The present study reports on secondary school teacher’s environmental attitude in India and Iran. One thousand and four teachers were selected through the stratified random sampling technique from 103 secondary schools of Mysore city (India) and Tehran city (Iran). Subjects consisted of 505 male and 499 females. They were assessed using the Taj Environmental Attitude Scale (TEAS) developed by Hasseen Taj (2001). Results revealed that there are significant differences between Indian and Iranian teachers in their level of environmental attitude. Also there are significant differences between them in environmental attitude across and within two groups with regard to their gender. Also in overall, type of school management (Government and private) is not a factor, which can affect teachers environmental attitude. 相似文献
