Abstract To investigate the effect of nano carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (nano CFRP) on retrofitting reinforced concrete (RC) structures, this article presented progressive collapse performance two half-scale four-bay RC frames including one control specimen S1 and S2 with CFRP beam ends. The was discussed by comparing crack patterns, failure mode, load–displacement curves, horizontal displac...

In recent decades many researchers have studied on the damage assessment of structures after a seismic event. To assess the damage of structures under an earthquake, it is so important to study the correlations between earthquake parameters and damages of the structures. A lot of seismic parameters have been defined by researchers to characterize an earthquake. Spectral parameters of an earthqu...

A performance-based seismic design (PBSD) method is aimed at controlling the structural damage based on precise estimations of proper response parameters. PBSD method evaluates the performance of a building frame for any seismic hazard, the building may experience. Use of this method for vertical irregular building is verified with comparison of conventional method. Vertical irregular frame is ...

Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings with masonry infills are a very common structural typology worldwide for civil, strategic, or productive use. Damage to may cause danger human lives and strongly affects economic losses, as shown during past earthquakes. In the current literature, different approaches available modeling in-plane response of infilled frames constitutive laws generally calibrate...
