Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Existing Rc Buildings in Gis Environment

With rapid population growth over the past 30 years and no significance seismic activity during this period, the unchecked development of the built environment in Bangladesh has been resulted in little resilience to earthquake. Identifying buildings due to this unchecked development that has high vulnerability is of critical importance both for reliable loss estimation as a result of an expecte...

Retrofitting of Existing Rc Square Bridge Columns Using Basalt Frp Rebars

Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) have been widely utilized to improve the seismic performance of deficient reinforced concrete (RC) columns. In recent years, one of the emerging types of FRPs used is basalt fibers. In this study, the performance of existing columns was experimentally examined before and after applying near-surface mounted (NSM) basalt FRP (BFRP) rebars as a retrofitting techniq...

Assessment of an RC existing hospital building with special moment frame using fragility curve

In this study, an existing hospital structure has been evaluated with incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). This building is accommodated in Karaj with soil type II. At first, two 2-D frames along X, Y direction are selected. Then, five performance levels are determined according to “Rehabilitation Code for Existing Buildings (Publication No. 360) including Immediate Operational (IO), Limited Dam...
