This paper presents the influence of gravity framing on collapse risk steel frame buildings with perimeter special moment frames (SMFs) designed in Turkey. For this, four- and eight-story have been considering related current specifications codes. Header end-plate connections are used for beam-to-column joints system. A nonlinear analytical model that simulates hysteretic behavior header is cal...

Harnessing the concept of inertial amplification, an amplifier coupled base isolator (IABI) is proposed in this paper. The seismic performance, terms story drift, shear reduction, has been compared with that classical (CBI) and inerter-based isolation system (Inerter-BI). A thorough analytical study, implementing rationals random vibration for harmonic Gaussian white noise conducted to identify...

The aim of this study is to compare the seismic response reinforced concrete (RC) symmetric buildings, with a varied number stories, strengthening three types passive energy dissipation systems, as tuned mass dampers, viscous and friction dampers. paper presents an overview design optimization object minimizing certain functions: (i) maximum displacement at top structures, (ii) base shear loads...

Many parameters affect the behavior of tall buildings under seismic loads, some which are main shock-after shock records and using lateral load resistance systems in reinforced concrete buildings. End shear walls a kind walls, connecting their end This study was conducted on two 30-story structures, were subjected to sequences far fault analyzed by nonlinear time history analysis. The results i...

After the catastrophic destruction of October 2005 Kashmir earthquake, first building code Pakistan was developed in 2007. The sole purpose (BCP) to incorporate advancements earthquake-resistant design fortify structures and ensure safety citizens against future seismic events. 2007, BCP not revised till 2021 include changes over time. However, recently updated version highlights that seismicit...

This paper presents measurement and analysis of the dynamic response of a five-story building to very-high frequency excitation (> 100 Hz) from blasting vibrations originating from a contiguous excavation of rock. Velocity response measurements, in the rock and on the structure, were employed to calculate time correlated dynamic displacement response of the building to blasting. Time correlated...
