Retrofit of Existing Reinforced Concrete (RC) Buildings: Steel vs. RC Exoskeletons
Applied Sciences, 2022 The existing building stock is largely made up of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, constructed between the post-World War II period and 1981, and mostly consists of buildings constructed very quickly to meet the great housing demand of this period ...

THE EFFECT OF BEHAVIOUR FACTOR ON THE SEISMIC PERFORMANCE OF LOW-RISE AND HIGH-RISE RC BUILDINGS [PDF]
Journal of Engineering Science and Technology, 2017 This study investigates the performance of RC buildings designed according to Eurocode 8. Two families of RC buildings (i.e., 3 storey and 18 storey) are investigated using nonlinear static or push over analysis (POA).

Seismic vulnerability of non-structural members in reinforced concrete buildings located in Tehran [PDF]
Numerical Methods in Civil Engineering, 2021 Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings are a common type of structure. Dual systems (containing RC shear walls and moment resisting frame), and moment resisting frame systems are the most common types of RC buildings in Iran.

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

Energy-dissipation in Seismic Retrofit RC Building with Friction Dampers [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Reinforced concrete (RC) buildings have suffered severe damage in the past due to inadequate lateral force resistance or energy dissipation capability. There is a need to improve the seismic performance of existing, vulnerable RC structures, particularly

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 ...
