A Retrofitting Framework for Pre-Northridge Steel Moment-Frame Buildings
A case study of retrofitting a 20-story pre-Northridge steel moment-frame building is presented. Twelve retrofit 4 schemes are developed with varying degrees of intervention. Three retrofitting techniques are considered: up5 grading the brittle beam-to-column moment resisting connections, and implementing either conventional or 6 buckling-restrained brace elements within the existing moment-fra...
متن کاملProbabilistic Evaluation of Eurocode 5 Fire Design Criteria of a Timber Portal Frame
Structural reliability analysis for a three failure were identified for the frame and limit state function was formulated functions were based on the Eurocode 5 design criteria. Uncertainties in the timber material properties were generated from laboratory test results performed on five commonly used timber species in Nigeria, namely Als boonei (Ahun), Triplochiton Scleroxylon (Obeche), Termina...
متن کاملFire Safety Engineering – Opportunities and Challenges for Timber Buildings
The combustibility of timber is one of the main reasons that many building regulations strictly limit the use of timber as a building material. Fire safety is an important contribution to feeling safe, and an important criterion for the choice of building materials. The main precondition for an increased use of timber in buildings is adequate fire safety. This paper reviews the opportunities an...
متن کاملSeismic Safety and United States Design Practice for Steel-concrete Composite Frame Structures
In United States design practice, three system performance factors (R, Cd, and o) characterize the inelastic behavior of structures and are a crucial component of common elastic design methodologies. However, for steel-concrete composite frame systems these factors have been selected based on comparisons to more traditional and well-studied reinforced concrete and structural steel frame system...
متن کاملThe Effect of Local Damage on Energy Absorption of Steel Frame Buildings During Earthquake
Progressive collapse is a kind of failure in which whole or large part of a structure collapse when a local damage occurs and distributes to other parts. Many researchers focus on the column removal analysis and study of the structure behavior under effect of gravity loads, so these investigations are mostly carried out on the tall building. Earthquake inspections indicate structural element ca...
