Drift and Damage Considerations in Earthquake-Resistant Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings
… of considerations related to drift and damage in earthquake-resistant design of medium-rise reinforced concrete building structures is investigated in this study. Simple (linear) methods used to calculate estimates of actual drift can easily be communicated to engineers and architects responsible …

Structural behavior and modeling of high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites for earthquake-resistant design
For earthquake-resistant design, adequate concrete confinement is vital for a ductile structural response and for providing a stable energy dissipating mechanism. Since concrete materials generally exhibit quasi-brittle failure and a low tensile strength, designers of traditional reinforced …

Cyclic lateral-torsional buckling of short I-beams
… The eccentrically braced frame, used in the earthquake resistant design of building structures, provides an application in which lateral buckling of short I-beams under cyclic loading is relevant. Our main purpose is to establish some benchmarks with which to assess the consequences of …

Soil-Foundation-Structure Interaction in the Earthquake Performance of Multi-Storey Buildings on Shallow Foundations
… the performance of multi-storey buildings during earthquake events has become increasingly important in earthquake resistant design. For buildings on shallow foundations, SFSI refers to nonlinear geometric effects associated with uplift of the foundation from the supporting soil as well as …

An investigation of the principles and practices of seismic isolation in bridge structures
… systems have gained rapid popularity in the earthquake resistant design of bridge structures. This popularity has come in response to the inadequacy of earlier seismic design and retrofit methodologies. The mechanical shortcomings and subsequent failure mechanisms associated with the early …

Seismic response of structures with Coulomb damping
The usefulness of Coulomb (friction) damping in earthquake-resistant design of structures is examined by studying the seismic response characteristics of structures with various arrangements of sliding interfaces. First, three basic arrangements are studied for their effectiveness in reducing …

Determining seismic response of mid-rise building frames considering dynamic soil-structure interaction
… significantly by the soil properties during the earthquake, and the structure can be analysed under the fixed base condition. When the structure is resting on a flexible medium, the dynamic response of the structure will be different from the fixed base condition owing to the interaction between …

Theoretical investigation of Australian designed reinforced concrete frames subjected to earthquake loading
… of reinforced concrete frame structures designed in accordance with AS3600 concrete structures code using a non-linear computer model. A computer model of a multi-storey multi-bay prototype structure was created.

The significance of seismic hazard on structural design in Zambia
Design and construction practices in Zambia have tended to neglect the risk posed by seismicity on structures, and no earthquake design and construction guides exist. The recent earthquake occurrences suggest that earthquake incidences can no longer be ignored. The research studied the occurrence …

The Dynamics of Rigid Bodies on Moving Deformable Support Media
… also affect the response of these objects during earthquakes; not necessarily in a beneficial way. This dissertation develops suitable models for simulating the previous dynamic problems. The equations of motion and suitable contact models are developed for each case. The importance of phenomena …

Inelastic behavior and seismic collapse prevention performance of low-ductility steel braced frames
… ductility. Unlike high-ductility systems, whose design encompasses extensive seismic detailing and proportioning requirements to provide said ductility, the analogous requirements for low-ductility steel SFRSs are minimal, and in some instances nonexistent. Ordinary concentrically-braced frames …
