Seismic Analysis of RC High-Rise Buildings Rested on Cellular Raft

Structural Sustainability Techniques for RC High Rise Buildings

Over the early years of the 21 century, cities throughout the Middle East, particularly in the Gulf region have expanded more rapidly than ever before. Given the presence of a large volume of high-rise buildings allover the region, the local authority aims to set a new standard for sustainable development; with an integrated approach to maintain a balance between economy, quality, environmental...

Probabilstic Seismic Risk Evaluation of Rc Buildings

As more and more emphasis is being laid on non-linear analysis of RC framed structures subjected to earthquake excitation, the research and development on both non-linear static (pushover) analysis as well as nonlinear dynamic (time history)analysis is in the forefront. Due to prohibitive computational time and efforts required to perform a complete nonlinear dynamic analysis, researchers and d...

Evaluation of Seismic Performance of Combined Horizontal and Vertical Hexagrid Structural System for High-rise Buildings

Summary In this study, the seismic performance of hexagrid structures which are composed of horizontal and vertical hexagrid by using a transitional story, has been investigated. To this end, 10 models of 50-story hexagrid structures were designed. 9 models with horizontal hexagrid cells which transited to vertical cells using a transitional story, and a model of completely horizontal hexagrid ...

Dependence of RC high-rise buildings response on the earthquake intensity

The relationship between the ground motion intensity measure (IM) and the engineering demand parameter (EDP) is analysed in the paper so as to identify and define the most efficient EDP-IM relationships for RC high-rise buildings. A 30-story RC high-rise building with the core wall structural system was selected as the reference building. 240 nonlinear time-history analyses were conducted for 6...
