After the catastrophic destruction of October 2005 Kashmir earthquake, first building code Pakistan was developed in 2007. The sole purpose (BCP) to incorporate advancements earthquake-resistant design fortify structures and ensure safety citizens against future seismic events. 2007, BCP not revised till 2021 include changes over time. However, recently updated version highlights that seismicit...

In design steel frames, combining semi-rigid and rigid connections can result in better structural performance, particularly seismic locations. this study, the effects of beam-to-column located on performance frame structures are investigated. The analysis uses six twelve-story moment resisting frames (MRSF) with rigid, semi-rigid, dual beam-column connections. These designed according to Egypt...

This paper presents measurement and analysis of the dynamic response of a five-story building to very-high frequency excitation (> 100 Hz) from blasting vibrations originating from a contiguous excavation of rock. Velocity response measurements, in the rock and on the structure, were employed to calculate time correlated dynamic displacement response of the building to blasting. Time correlated...

In this study, loading tests were conducted on RC structural frame with LGS partition wall and steel door as test specimens. the test, damage observation was to understand doors for each story drifts. Among observed ones thought be caused by residual deformation of seismic frame. It also found that when drift angle exceeds 1/200, required force more than 100N open it 1/100, could not opened.

This study was conducted to the redistribution of internal force and development plastic hinge an MBS with foundations at two different elevations considering torsional effect. The results indicate that base shear is evident embedding ends, story on floors also took place. columns upper- lower-embedding sides, more prominent along slope direction. Consequently, should be considered in practical...

To analyze the multidimensional elastic–plastic response of frame structure with magnetorheological (MR) dampers under strong seismic excitations, test MRD was performed, location matrix in derived, and calculation models without an were established based on three-segment variable stiffness beam. Taking a five-story reinforced concrete (RC) as example, developed by MATLAB software dynamic time ...
