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...

in this paper, an approximate method is proposed for determining sway of multistory rc buildings subjected to various types of lateral loads. the calculation of both fundamental period and stability index in rc building requires the sway term at each story level. using approximate method design engineers can estimate sway terms at each story level. the developed analytical expressions are inser...

Rhizoma coptidis (RC) has been used as an herbal medicine in China for over one thousand years, and it was subjected to specific processing before use as materia medica. Processing is a pharmaceutical technique that aims to enhance the efficacy and/or reduce the toxicity of crude drugs according to traditional Chinese medicine theory. In this study, the chemical profiles of RC, ginger juice pro...

In this paper, we focus on the synthetic understanding of documents, specifically reading comprehension (RC). A current problem with RC is the need for a method of analyzing the RC system performance to realize further development. We propose a methodology for examining RC systems from multiple viewpoints. Our methodology consists of three steps: define a set of basic skills used for RC, manual...

Istanbul city is the center of increasing industrialization in Turkey with proportionally developing problems, such as distorted settlements, and slums, etc. The rapid migration to Istanbul, which located earthquake hazard risk zone, has resulted a raised population these structures. Urban regeneration/transformation/planning expressed comprehensive action plan that aims provide lasting solutio...

Floors of a building with the relatively new and environmentally sustainable structural material as cross-laminated timber (CLT) traditional reinforced concrete (RC) are compared in this paper regard to their load-bearing properties. StruSoft FEM-Design software is utilised model, analyse design an existing using CLT RC floors. The has three stories penthouse on top floor. Modelling, analysis c...

Many factors affect the earthquake vulnerability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, constituting a large part existing building stock. Short column in RC structures is one reasons for damage. Significant damages may occur due to brittle fractures structural elements when shear resistances are exceeded under effect high stress short columns formed architectural and topographic reasons. This...

This paper presents a seismic fragility assessment of medium-rise reinforced concrete (RC) wall buildings, focusing on fishbone-type buildings with high densities and other features such as the presence thin unconfined walls subjected to axial loads significantly larger vertical irregularities. Such are typical residential in Chile countries. To do so, finite element models three index differen...
