SEISMIC ANALYSIS MODELING TO SATISFY BUILDING CODES The Current Building Codes Use the Terminology: Principal Direction without a Unique Definition
ثبت نشده
چکیده
{ XE "Building Codes" }Currently a three-dimensional dynamic analysis is required for a large number of different types of structural systems that are constructed in Seismic Zones 2, 3 and 4 [1]. The lateral force requirements suggest several methods that can be used to determine the distribution of seismic forces within a structure. However, these guidelines are not unique and need further interpretations.

Investigating The Seismic Response of Structural Walls Using Nonlinear Static and Incremental Dynamic Analyses
Structural walls commonly used as efficient structural elements to resist lateral and vertical loads. Diverse performance of bearing wall system in past earthquakes, motivates investigation on the adequacy of current seismic design provision for these walls. This study considers seismic performance of model walls of bearing wall and building frame systems designed as ordinary and special struct...
متن کاملApplication of Near Surface Mounted (NSM) technique for Seismic Retrofitting of Heritage Buildings
The high vulnerability of the cultural buildings due to seismic actions urged researchers to retrofit them using reversible and compatible techniques. The application of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) for enhancing the structural behavior of masonry buildings, under seismic actions, has been studied by many researchers. The near-surface mounting (NSM) technique is a relatively new retrofitting ...
متن کاملEvaluating Response Modification Factors of Concentrically Braced and Special Moment Steel Frames in Duplex Buildings
Response modification factor (R-factor) is one of the seismic design parameters to consider nonlinear performance of building structures during strong earthquake. Relying on this, many seismic design codes led to reduce earthquake loads imposed to the structure. The present paper tries to evaluate the R-factors of conventional concentric braced frames (CBFs) and special moment frames (MRFs) in ...
