Structural Risk Assessment and Mitigation for Low- to Mid-Rise Residential Buildings in China
China has experienced major earthquakes recently. The 2014 Ludian earthquake struck Ludian County, Yunnan, (Mw =6.1) on 3 August, 2014. On April 20th 2013, Ya’an earthquake (Mw =6.9), on April 14th 2010, Qinghai earthquake (Mw =7.1), on July 9th 2009, Yunnan earthquake (Mw =6.0), and on May 12th 2008, Sichuan earthquake (Mw =7.9) struck China. Among these disasters, the most devastating, the Si...
متن کاملCRITICAL INCIDENT ANGLE FOR THE MINIMUM COST DESIGN OF LOW, MID AND HIGH-RISE STEEL AND REINFORCED CONCRETE-COMPOSITE BUILDINGS
One of the main tasks of engineers is to design structural systems light and economic as possible, yet resistant enough to withstand all possible loads arising during their service life and to absorb the induced seismic energy in a controlled and predictable fashion. The traditional trial-and-error design approach is not capable to determine an economical design satisfying also the code require...
متن کاملAssessing Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) as an Alternative Material for Mid-Rise Residential Buildings in Cold Regions in China—A Life-Cycle Assessment Approach
Timber building has gained more and more attention worldwide due to it being a generic renewable material and having low environmental impact. It is widely accepted that the use of timber may be able to reduce the embodied energy of a building. However, the development of timber buildings in China is not as rapid as in some other countries. This may be because of the limitations of building reg...
متن کاملSiesmic Assessment og Ductility and Strength Capacities of Low-Rise R. C. Buildings
This paper presents a methodology for the assessment of ductility and strength capacities in low-rise buildings. This method utilizes the characteristics of force-displacement for the lowest story level or considers the weakest story in any given low-rise building for its primary analysis. Calculations are based on two levels of earthquake motions, namely strong earthquakes (PGA=0.3 g), and ver...
