Seismic resilience of retrofitted RC buildings

Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Vibration, 2020
Existing 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 ...

RC buildings retrofitted by converting frame bays into RC walls

Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2013
Adding 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,

Integrated System for RC Building Design

Journal of the Structural Division, 1971
The 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.

Multiscale Investigations of RC Shear Wall Buildings

Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2021
The precise description of reinforced concrete shear wall (RCSW) systems under severe dynamic loading remains a difficult research question owing to the intrinsically multi-scale underlying mechani...

Knowledge-Based Performance Assessment of Existing RC Buildings

Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2011
One of the most challenging aspects of the seismic assessment of existing buildings is the characterization of structural modeling uncertainties. Recent codes, such as Eurocode 8, seem to synthesize the effect of structural modeling uncertainties in the so-called confidence factors that are applied to mean material property estimates.

Ductility Consideration for a Sustainable RC Building

ECS Transactions, 2022
In 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 ...
