REUSE SYSTEM OF BUILDING STEEL STRUCTURES

Application of Various NDT Methods for the Evaluation of Building Steel Structures for Reuse

The reuse system proposed by the authors is an overall business system for realizing a cyclic reuse flow through the processes of design, fabrication, construction, maintenance, demolition and storage. The reuse system is one of the methods to reduce the environmental burden in the field of building steel structures. These buildings are assumed to be demolished within approximately 30 years or ...

Cost Optimization of Concentric Braced Steel Building Structures

Seismic design may require non-conventional concept, due to the fact that the stiffness and layout of the structure have a great effect on the overall structural behaviour, on the seismic load intensity as well as on the internal force distribution. To find an economical and optimal structural configuration the key issue is the optimal design of the lateral load resisting system. This paper foc...

Seismic Retrofitting of Steel and Composite Building Structures

non-linear study of various slit shear walls in steel structures

seismic retrofit strategies have been developed in the past few decades following the introduction of new seismic provisions and the availability of advanced materials and methods. it can be observed that new approaches to deal with more lateral forces are more innovative and more energy absorbent. in line with this, there is a growing trend toward the use of steel shear walls as a system with ...

Parametric Study of Qutrigger Braced and Belt System in Tall Building Structures

Current innovative lateral load carrying systems for tall buildings are those in which the lateral drift is limited to an allowable value without considerable influence on economy. This aim is achieved by using special systems capable of using maximum stiffness and strength capacity of individual structural elements. An effective structural solution in this respect is the use of outrigger brace...
