OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE-BASED SEISMIC DESIGN OF COMPOSITE BUILDING FRAMES WITH RC COLUMNS AND STEEL BEAMS

Composite RCS building frames integrate reinforced concrete columns with structural steel beams to provide an efficient solution for the design and construction of earthquake-resisting structures. In this paper, an optimization framework is developed for performance-based seismic design of planar RCS moment resisting frames. The objective functions are defined as minimizing the construction cos...

Analytical Load Displacement Curves of RC Columns under Constant Axial and Cyclic Lateral Loads

The cyclic tests of the columns are of practical relevance to the performance of compression members during earthquake loading. The strength, ductility and energy absorption capabilities of RC columns, subjected to cyclic loading, have been estimated by many researchers. These characteristics are not normally inherent in plain concrete but can be achieved by effectively confining columns throug...

Analytical Model for Concrete Jacketed RC Columns with Precorrosion and Postcorrosion Damages Under Uniaxial Loading

The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of precorrosion and postcorrosion damage on concrete jacketed RC columns under uniaxial loading and to develop a rational methodology for predicting the corresponding compressive strength. The predamage and postdamage involved an electrochemical process to accelerate the migration of chlorides from an external electrolyte into the te...
