This paper includes the investigation of soil–structure interaction (SSI) effect on seismic response 20 and 30-story reinforced concrete moment resisting frames (MRFs) rested a piled raft foundation using direct approach. After that, study is conducted to show impact cellular instead designed solid dynamic building. A introduced select best gap size for raft. The soil model assumed as single la...

the proposal lateral load pattern for pushover analysis is given in two forms for symmetric concrete buildings: 1-(x/h)0.5 for low-rise and mid-rise buildings, 2- sin(πx/h) for high-rise buildings. these two forms give more realistic results as compared to conventional load patterns such as triangular and uniform load patterns. the assumed buildings of 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 30 story concrete bui...

Abstract Floods pose significant risk to riparian buildings as evidenced during many historical events. Although structural resilience tsunami flooding is well studied in the literature, high-velocity and debris-laden floods steep terrains are not considered adequately so far. Historical necessitate need for flood vulnerability analysis of buildings. To this end, we report riparian-reinforced c...

This paper deals with modelling strategies for the updating of Finite Element Models (FEMs) infilled Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame buildings. As is known, this building typology most adopted worldwide residential houses and strategic buildings, such as hospitals, schools, police stations, etc. The importance achieving trustworthy numerical models these kinds structures, especially latter ones,...
