Seismic Evaluation Of RC Buildings. [PDF]
The Egyptian International Journal of Engineering Sciences and Technology, 2021 The seismic evaluation of existing buildings is a more troublesome assignment than the seismic design of new buildings. The need for seismic evaluation for buildings becomes necessary to know the level of structural damage and how to cure it due to earthquakes. The seismic evaluation shows how the structure’s behavior under seismic loads and determines

Stochastic Free Vibration Analysis of RC Buildings [PDF]
Indian Journal of Science and Technology, 2016 Background/Objectives: Free vibration response of RC structures is random in nature due to the uncertainties exist in geometry, material properties and loading. Stochastic analysis methods can represent this randomness in responses. Methods: The Monte Carlo Simulation is a widely accepted method for stochastic structural analysis but the computational ...

SEISMIC AND ENERGY UPGRADING OF EXISTING RC BUILDING
2nd Croatian Conference on Earthquake Engineering ‒ 2CroCEE, 2023 This paper presents the preliminary results of the project called Establishment of the national training centre for nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB). The project is funded by EEA Grants (Energy and Climate Change Programme). Seismic condition assessment and upgrading of existing RC structures are presented with a case study building in Zagreb.

Numerical simulations of derived URM-RC buildings: Assessment of strengthening interventions with RC
Journal of Building Engineering, 2021 Abstract The use of reinforced concrete (RC) in retrofitting interventions on existing unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings has been spreading all over the world since the beginning of the twentieth century. However, many of these mixed URM–RC buildings have revealed to be particularly vulnerable to seismic action , and their inherent complex ...

Assessment of Seismic Behavior of an RC Precast Building [PDF]
, 2020 Past earthquakes brought attention to the poor performance of precast reinforced concrete structures. One of the problems observed in those structures is related to the beam-to-column connections. The evaluation of different methodologies for the analysis of beam-to-column connections in industrial buildings is an important aspect that should be ...

Implementation of Passive Radiative Cooling Technology in Buildings: A Review
Buildings, 2020 Radiative cooling (RC) is attracting more interest from building engineers and architects. Using the sky as the heat sink, a radiative cooling material can be passively cooled by emitting heat to the sky.

Cyclic behavior of a two-span RC beam built with plain reinforcing bars [PDF]
, 2011 Reinforced concrete structural elements lacking appropriate seismic detailing and built with plain reinforcing bars, and subjected to cyclic loads like the ones induced by earthquakes, are particularly sensitive to the bond-slip mechanism.
