Design and Assessment Spectra for Retrofitting of RC Buildings

open access: yesJournal of Earthquake Engineering, 2010
This article presents a novel approach for deriving Retrofit Design Spectra (RDS) that are intended for use in preliminary development and assessment of seismic upgrading scenarios of existing structures. The new spectral representation relates the characteristics of the intervention method chosen as the core of the upgrading strategy, with the ...

Nonlinear Static and Dynamic Analyses of RC Buildings

open access: yesInternational Journal of Civil Engineering, 2018
This study aims to compare pushover and nonlinear time history analyses for existing low- and mid-rise RC buildings to better understand the applicability limits, advantages and disadvantages of nonlinear static and dynamic analyses. The 4- and 7-story buildings designed according to the pre-modern and modern Turkish Earthquake Codes represent the ...

STUDY ON THE STABILITY ANALYSIS OF RC FRAME BUILDINGS

open access: yesInternational Journal of Advances in Scientific Research and Engineering, 2017
Buckling is instability of column under compression, any axial member that supports compressive load. In most of the buckling analysis applied loads, structural properties and material properties are considered certain. The buckling load factor (BLF) or effective length factor (K-factor) is one of important parameters in design of column or beam-column

Based-Performance Evaluation of Partial Staggered-Story RC Frame Building Considering Confinement Coefficients of Steel Tube-Reinforced Concrete Columns

open access: yesBuildings
Compared with conventional RC frame buildings, staggered-story frame buildings are prone to the formation of short columns due to the vertical staggering of beam members, which exerts an adverse impact on the seismic performance of the building ...
