System overstrength factor induced by interaction between structural reinforced concrete walls, floors and gravity frames: Analytical formulation

open access: yesBulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022
In multi-storey structural wall buildings, the structural walls are required to resist additional shear force due to their interactions with the floors and gravity-resisting system, which is not fully catered for in current seismic design provisions and assessment guidelines.

Seismic Response of a Platform-Frame System with Steel Columns [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Timber platform-frame shear walls are characterized by high ductility and diffuse energy dissipation but limited in-plane shear resistance. A novel lightweight constructive system composed of steel columns braced with oriented strand board (OSB) panels ...

Seismic Vulnerability of Non-Code-Compliant and Code-Compliant RC Buildings

open access: yesStructural Mechanics of Engineering Constructions and Buildings
This study investigates the seismic vulnerability of non-code-compliant reinforced concrete (RC) buildings compared to code-based structures. The research uses linear elastic and nonlinear pushover analyses (NPA) to evaluate critical seismic performance ...

Effect of the transverse reinforcement spacing in nodal zones on the seismic behavior factor of RC frames according to Algerian design code RPA99/version2003

open access: yesJournal of Building Materials and Structures
The seismic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) frames is significantly influenced by the confinement provided by transverse reinforcement. This study investigates the effect of transverse reinforcement spacing on the seismic behavior factor (R) of ...

Overstrength of Displacement-Based Designed Eccentrically Braced Steel Frames [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2016
Direct Displacement-Based Design (DDBD) is a performance-based seismic design method that has been proposed and developed over the past two decades for RC frame structures, shear walls and bridges design. The aim of this study is to evaluate overstrength

Effects of higher modes and MDOF on strength reduction factor of elastoplastic structures under far and near-fault ground motions

open access: yesAin Shams Engineering Journal, 2017
In seismic codes, the force strength reduction factor is proposed to transform elastic to inelastic strength. The ductility reduction factor, Rμ, plays a key role on R factor if no overstrength is present. The Rμ is determined by SDOF systems.

Seismic Design and Performance Assessment of Frame Buildings Reinforced by Dual-Phase Steel

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
To improve the durability and serviceability of reinforced concrete structures, different variants of dual-phase reinforcing steel were developed within the research project NEWREBAR. The investigated variant of the new material, termed DPD2 steel, has a

A quasi-static nonlinear analysis for assessing the fire resistance of 3d frames exploiting time-dependent yield surface [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In this work an automatic procedure for evaluating the axial force-biaxial bending yield surface of reinforced concrete sections in fire is proposed. It provides an accurate time-dependent expression of the yield condition by a section analysis carried ...
