Seismic Evaluation Of RC Buildings.

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...

Seismic Vulnerability Analysis of RC Buildings in Western China

Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Existing Rc Buildings in Gis Environment

With rapid population growth over the past 30 years and no significance seismic activity during this period, the unchecked development of the built environment in Bangladesh has been resulted in little resilience to earthquake. Identifying buildings due to this unchecked development that has high vulnerability is of critical importance both for reliable loss estimation as a result of an expecte...

PART 1: Evaluation of Maximum Drift Demand for Seismic Performance Assessment of RC Buildings

The main objective of this research project is to residual deformation and collapse mechanism of structural system and to assess the seismic demand of this system. In this study three major works are developed: a. Develop a physical-based inelastic hysteretic model which contains stiffness and strength degradation, pinching and residual deformation, b. Based on the proposed model the seismic de...

Evaluation of seismic assessment procedures for determining deformation demands in RC wall buildings

This work evaluates the performance of a number of seismic assessment procedures when applied to a case study reinforced concrete (RC) wall building. The performance of each procedure is evaluated through its ability to accurately predict deformation demands, specifically, roof displacement, inter-storey drift ratio and wall curvatures are considered as the key engineering demand parameters.
