RC Building Damage Statistics and SDF Response with Design Seismic Forces
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces the damage statistics of reinforced concrete buildings after the 1985 Mexico Earthquake, the 1990 Ruzon (Philippines) Earthquake, the 1992 Erzincan (Turkey) Earthquake, and the 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu (Kobe) Earthquake. These data were obtained in severely damaged areas in each earthquake through the inventory damage investigation of the Architectural Institute of Japan teams. The damage statistics indicated severer damage in taller buildings and significantly less damage in low-rise buildings. A series of nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom systems having minimum code required lateral resistance were analyzed using the earthquake motions recorded near the area of damage survey. Contrary to the statistics, the nonlinear response analysis results showed higher ductility demand (damage) in lower buildings.

متن کاملInfluence of Seismic Pounding on RC Buildings with and without Base Isolation System Subject to Near-Fault Ground Motions
Building pounding occurs between two adjacent buildings with small gap or without sufficient separation distance. It leads to damage buildings during earthquake due to impact. Many researchers have investigated building pounding based on impact force reduction and energy dissipation increase, when two buildings collide with each other. In numerical investigations, using specific link element, i...

متن کاملEvaluation of Seismic Vulnerability of Reinforced Concrete Buildings Adjacent to the Deep Excavations
In this study, the effect of deep excavation on the seismic response of RC moment resisting building systems has been studied. Deep excavation can cause significant changes in the stress and strain levels of soil environment and also changes in the propagation of seismic waves. This leads to permanent displacements in the foundation system. In this study, three RC building systems, i.e. 5, 10, ...
