Seismic behavior of a strengthened full scale reinforced concrete building using the finite element modelling approach

In Iraq, the increase in earthquake activity was observed, but most of existing buildings can still suffer from severe injury or destruction, and therefore cause major issues. this paper, we performed numerically analyses by experimental modeling to demonstrate efficiency using final element analysis (FEA) development modern solutions maintain structures risk earthquakes. Using ABAQUS software that supports dynamic analysis, uses model use models for several ways enhance center. This a large-scale 4 building tested doctor test (PSD). Experimental were extending RC walls with various connectivity details comply gravity design only building. The goal study determine impact adding an above wall as way modernization, including Dowels their contribution new mouse wall's connection buildings. These enhancements are converting selected compartment inlet [2]. result is 4.11% proportion differences X direction upper layer displacement Abaqus Elsa results, 2.15% negative 4.11%. accurate similarity exact modeling. After verification process, three enhancement methods used Next analysis.
