Earthquake Loss Estimation for Reinforced Concrete Buildings: Some Problems
Capacity spectrum procedures developed for the assessment and strengthening of existing buildings have become the basis of methods for estimating potential post-earthquake losses which are today widely used in the insurance industry, and for urban risk mitigation programmes. The areas to which these methods are applied often contain (or largely consist of) reinforced concrete apartment building...
متن کاملStructural Design of Reinforced Concrete Tall Buildings: Evolutionary Computation Approach
The paper reports the results of a joint project on evolutionary design of reinforced concrete structures in tall buildings. It has been conducted at the Center for Concrete Structures at the Darmstadt University of Technology in Germany and in the School of Information Technology and Engineering at George Mason University. Its ultimate objective is to revolutionize design of both steel and con...
متن کاملLightning-Generated Fields in Reinforced concrete Buildings
This contribution presents a study, model and validation of the amplitudes of the residual fields inside a one-story building for different locations of lightning impacts. The special case where a second gridded structure exist inside the main building, forming a box-in-the-box configuration, is analyzed. We show also that formulas for magnetic field attenuation found in the relevant IEC docume...
متن کاملEarthquake Resistant Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings
This paper briefly reviews the development of earthquake resistant design of buildings. The state-of-the-art of seismic design is discussed from the viewpoint of the performance criteria of buildings. These are (a) serviceability from frequent minor-intensity earthquake motions, (b) repairability from an infrequent but major-intensity earthquake motion, and (c) life safety from the maximum poss...
متن کاملPreventing Pancake Collapses: Lessons from Earthquake-Resistant Traditional Construction for Modern Buildings of Reinforced Concrete
It seems counter-intuitive to assert that simple, unsophisticated, non-engineered, timber and masonry structures might be safer in large earthquakes than new structures of reinforced concrete, but such has proven to be the case in a number of recent earthquakes, including the Izmit and Düzce earthquakes in Turkey of 1999, the Bhuj earthquake in India of 2001, and the Kashmir earthquake in Pakis...
