Sustainability and Resilience Consideration of a RC Building
ECS Transactions, 2022At seismic events, the building society need to be sustainable in terms of its functionality at post-seismic event. During the seismic event, the performance of the building gets gradually deteriorated. Two approaches which relates with strength and serviceability are important to maintain the building sustainable at disaster events. In first approach,

RC buildings retrofitted by converting frame bays into RC walls
Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2013Adding concrete walls by infilling certain frame bays with reinforced concrete is popular for seismic retrofitting, but is covered by codes only if the connection of the old concrete to the new ensures monolithic behavior. To avoid penalizing the foundation of the new wall with a very high moment resistance, the new concrete should not be thicker than,

Seismic resilience of retrofitted RC buildings
Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Vibration, 2020Existing buildings can be at a greater seismic risk due to non-conformance to current design codes and may require structural retrofitting to improve building performance. The performance of buildings is measured in terms of immediate consequences due to direct damage, but the continuing impacts related to recovery are not considered in seismic ...

Ductility Consideration for a Sustainable RC Building
ECS Transactions, 2022In terms of sustainable and green society, a building structure needs to be functional, resilient, and environmental friendly at a post-earthquake event. During a seismic event, the performance of the building gets drastically deteriorated. In terms of safety and serviceability, it is required to evaluate actual capacity of the building at various ...

Integrated System for RC Building Design
Journal of the Structural Division, 1971The computer system described permits both the analysis and design of complete reinforced concrete buildings of various types. Any geometric configurations or loadings may be handled, but a simplified form of input is used for typical orthogonal buildings.

Strengthening of RC Buildings with Composites
2017The use of composite materials for reinforced concrete (RC) structures strengthening has become a well-established practice in the last decades, especially in seismic zones, either for retrofitting RC buildings not designed to resist seismic loads or for post-event structural rehabilitations.

TORSIONAL EFFECTS AND REGULARITY CONDITIONS IN RC BUILDINGS
2000Earthquake damages at the perimeter of buildings are often the result of excessive deformations caused by torsion during the earthquake. Large torsional responses can be expected if the buildings have large eccentricity and low torsional stiffness. Modern codes, including Eurocode 8, recognise the importance of the torsional stiffness on the seismic ...

Strengthening of RC Buildings with Steel Elements
2017Existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings often need some strengthening interventions due to different reasons, such as change in usage, repair of visible damage or seismic strengthening. Nowadays, few guidelines and codes that specifically addressing this issue are available in Europe, even though a wide range of research activities and scientific ...

Robustness of RC buildings to progressive collapse: Influence of building height
Engineering Structures, 2019Abstract The influence of building height on the robustness of reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings to resist progressive collapse is investigated. Beginning with the initial removal of a corner column at the ground level, the study attempts to identify the main global resisting mechanisms that develop in the structure after successive column ...

A CAD system for building structures in ‘BUILDING RC/SRC/S’
Computer-Aided Design, 1976Abstract A CAD software system is described for the structural design of buildings. While generally similar to GENESYS-RC-BUILDING/1 of England and DEMOS-E of Japan, this system allows for greater freedom of design than the above two systems. As the system is intended for the design of buildings in Japan, a country prone to strong earthquakes ...
