Impact of cladding on mid-rise buildings in the Northridge Earthquake
… thesis, the importance of cladding panels on mid-rise buildings in an earthquake-prone region is investigated. A cladding panel acts as a protective or an insulating layer to control weather infiltration. The Northridge Earthquake, which took place on January 17, 1994, caused numerous heavy …

A comparative study on the seismic performance of concrete and steel Diagrid structures
… Diagrid building designs, especially with mid-rise buildings. Looking through the entire portfolio of completed Diagrid structures, there are very few Diagrid tall building structures located in the area where seismic forces govern the lateral design. An investigation on the seismic …

Framework to assess a facility's ability to accommodate change : application to renovated buildings
… on the renovation and reuse of existing low to mid-rise buildings, is developed. Unlike past studies on building renovation and reuse, this research moves away from the exogenous factors (e.g., building location, social and community issues, building age, or building deterioration) and instead …

A Case Study on Medium and High Rise Timber Buildings
… of heavy timber in the construction of buildings are searched. First, a comparative study based on the Canadian market discussing the alternatives heavy timber can offer such as glulam and cross laminated timber (CLT) in comparison with LFW when applied to mid-rise buildings. Different …

Performance of C-Shaped structural concrete walls subjected to bi-directional loading
… used as the lateral force resisting system for mid-rise buildings in regions of low and high seismicity. Wall geometries in buildings are generally complex configurations to accommodate architectural constraints during new construction or existing conditions in seismic retrofit applications. A …
