Technical benchmarking of the EU harmonized Romanian seismic assessment code
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A technical benchmarking study is presented, aimed to evaluate the EU harmonized Romanian seismic assessment code in comparison with its European and U.S. homologues and to identify potential opportunities for its future improvement. The benchmarking procedures are illustrated by parallel seismic assessments, performed, according to the analyzed regulations, on a reinforced concrete frame structure relevant for the building typologies in Romania.

متن کاملSeismic fragility assessment of RC moment resisting frame buildings designed for different editions of Iranian seismic design code
Background and objective: Developing fragility and vulnerability functions are important tools in seismic reliability assessment of buildings and are widely used in regional seismic risk studies. To date sufficient studies for developing analytical fragility functions for Iranian code-conforming buildings have not been carried out. Performing such studies are necessary to assess the adequacy of...
متن کاملSeismic Performance of RC Frames Irregular in Elevation Designed Based on Iranian Seismic Code
Setback in elevation of a structure is a special irregularity with considerable effect on its seismic performance. This paper addresses multistory Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame buildings, regular and irregular in elevation. Several multistory Reinforced Concrete Moment Resisting Frames (RCMRFs) with different types of setbacks, as well as the regular frames in elevation, are designed according...
