Reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures with open first stories and masonry infill walls at the upper are very common in seismic areas. Under strong earthquakes, most of energy dissipation demand imposed by earthquake concentrates story, this eventually leads building to collapse. A efficient cost-effective solution for upgrading type structure consists installing hysteretic dampers story. Th...

The displacement fling-step pulse seldom signatures near-field earthquake in its ground motions. It is well recognized that the motion with velocity amplifies building drift larger than regular motion. Recent findings explain experiences minor damage to collapse not caused only by single earthquakes, which many cases are due repeated seismic performance of moment frames under studied, particula...

This paper describes the seismic performance of a steel frame with additional LYP dampers. dampers provides passive energy dissipation device in structure, it also reduces lateral forces efficient way which is produced by wave. The structures needed design especially countries where activities occur. analysis accomplished FEM and software called SAP2000. only analyzed using numerical simulation...

• Combining a flexible rocking wall system and the flexibility of timber can result in building with considerable flexibility. This paper investigates how partition detailing affects dynamic properties structural system. determines when it is beneficial to consider nonstructural walls overall resistance. Fixed contribute significantly seismic resistance while deformation-compatible ones offer l...

Biochemical studies revealed that nonstructural proteins of hepatitis C virus (HCV) interacted with each other and were associated with intracellular membranes. The goals of this study were to determine whether nonstructural viral proteins are colocalized at specific intracellular sites where HCV RNA is replicated and to identify the virus components of the HCV replication complex (RC). Immunof...

Nonstructural components (NSCs) are the systems that attached to floors of a building structure. NSCs have become critical in sustaining post-earthquake functionality while constructing seismic-resilient structures. The seismic behavior primarily depends upon structure which NSC is attached. Building structures subjected earthquake loads and behave differently when supporting soil type varies. ...
