Wind Damage to Masonry Buildings

Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 1989
An examination has been made of the methods of construction of masonry‐walled buildings, and their performance in severe windstorms. Particular emphasis was placed on low‐rise buildings using unreinforced concrete block walls and light roofs, which suffer the majority of wind damage.

Damages to Reinforced Concrete Buildings

2012
Typical damages to reinforced concrete buildings, both by the ground motions and the tsunami waves, are outlined in this section. The report herein is based primarily on the field survey of the AIJ members and collected through the members of the Reinforced Concrete Steering Committee of AIJ.

Damage Prediction for Existing Buildings

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1989
The intent of the text is to provide an overview of the factors that affect building damage potential, an overview of methods and data currently available for predicting building damage, and an overview of a recent study by the Applied Technology Council (ATC) which resulted in the development of comprehensive data and methodology for predicting ...

Damage‐dependent vulnerability curves for existing buildings

Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2012
SUMMARYSeismic behavior of damaged buildings may be expressed as a function of their REsidual Capacity (REC), which is a measure of seismic capacity, reduced by damage. REC can be interpreted as the median value of collapse vulnerability curves. Its variation owing to damage is a useful indication of increased building vulnerability.

Building Wind Damage Prediction and Mitigation Using Damage Bands

Natural Hazards Review, 2000
The wind damage resistivities of buildings impacted by hurricanes and tornadoes depend primarily upon the strength of the connections between the building components, the nature of the components, the architectural design features, and the nature of the immediate environment.

Ground-Movement-Related Building Damage

Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 1996
A concept for evaluation of building damage resulting from differential ground movement is presented in this paper. The concept is intended as a first-order method for damage assessment and relies on ground movement profile geometry, structure geometry and design, strain superposition, and critical strains of building materials.

Investigation of fire‐damaged buildings

Structural Survey, 1986
Introduction Most professionals engaged in the investigation of fire‐damaged buildings are very conscious of the potentially dangerous environment in which they work. Fire‐damaged structures generally have no remaining services, these either having been destroyed or disconnected.
