This paper presents a parametric study conducted on five Steel Moment Frames (SMFs) varying in height (2-, 4-, 8-, 12-, and 20- story) to assess the interactive effect of column base hysteretic behavior, continuous gravity columns partially restrained beam-column connections their seismic performance. The frame response is examined through sophisticated Nonlinear Time History (NTH) Static Pusho...

The present study investigates the seismic performance of twelve-story RC buildings focusing on structural effects flat walls which are commonly neglected in design practice. Two-span moment-resisting frame was numerically modeled considering three analytical cases: Case 0 beam-column subassembly, 1 with conventional walls, and 2 damage control were proposed authors’ previous study. Comparing m...

the present article is an attempt to review the syrian short storyfrom the period between 1931 to 1947 and its development. syrian short stories in this period are affected by cultural, political and historical events.

In this paper a simple model of a three story building with inclined first-story columns has presented. The stories are supposed to be rigid and are connected to axially rigid mass less columns by elasto-plastic rotational springs and linear rotational dampers. The considered model is subjected to horizontal component of fault normal pulse with different magnitudes and the governed nonlinear di...

Evaluation or study of existing building structures must consider the strength and stiffness structural components due to gravity loads earthquake loads. The strengthening Hbeam column structure is add steel plates column. This method a way improve performance in terms ease implementation, time cost when compared replacing adding new components. purpose this was analyze plate seismic Parameters...

Flats slabs became a common solution for buildings because they are easy and fast to build. In the last few years, some building that constructed using flat slab system required strengthening column junction due either imperfections during design, construction or increase of design load in case change function. The strengthen methods against punching shear (column heads, drop panels) leave an o...

The response of moment resisting frame structures to seismic excitation is strongly dependent on the ability of particular structural members to sustain relatively large inelastic deformations without significant degradation of lateral and axial load-carrying capacity. Conventional reinforced concrete frame structures are typically designed according to the strong column/weak beam concept, whic...
