Due to their excellent seismic behavior, shear wall-type concrete buildings are very popular in earthquake-prone countries like Chile. According current regulations, the performance of such structures can be indifferently assessed through linear or non-linear methods analysis. Although all code-compliant approaches supposedly lead a safe design, may fact less precise for catching actual ductile...

This paper examines differences in performances of a range of torsionally stiff and flexible single story buildings designed with the provisions of Iranian Standard 2800. Seismic nonlinear dynamic time history behavior of eight building models subjected to seven horizontal bi-directional design spectra compatible ground motions are investigated. These models cover a wide range of very torsional...

in this article, we tried to emphasis in how the range of torsionally stiff and flexible single story buildings works. the designed base was according to provisions of the canadian standard, 2005 nbcc. the behavior of nonlinear dynamic time history of eight building models subjected to seven horizontal bi-directional ground motions compatible with design spectra are investigated. these models c...

Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) requires the analysis of the non-linear response history of a structure for an ensemble of ground motions, each scaled to multiple levels of intensity and selected to cover the entire range of structural response. Recognizing that IDA of practical structures is computationally demanding, an approximate procedure based on the reduction of the number of ground m...

To explore the difference in impact of transverse bracing on seismic effect through concrete-filled steel tube arch bridges with non-isolated and earthquake-isolated, nine earthquake-isolated structural models under different cross-bracing arrangements were established, Elcentro waves selected. The internal force, displacement, velocity, absolute acceleration, relative separation ribs each mode...
