Reinforced concrete frame buildings with Open Ground Story (OGS) are one of the most common building configurations in urban habitat. These configurations are known to be vulnerable to seismic excitations, primarily due to the sudden loss in strength in the ground story and differential stiffness distribution throughout the structure. The differential stiffness distribution is attributed primar...

The composite structural system (RCS) is a new type of moment frame, which is including a combination of concrete columns (RC) and steel beams (S). These structural systems have the advantages of both concrete and steel frames [1]. In previous research on composite structures, there are some studies regarding RCS composite conections, but there is no investigation about seismic resisting system...

Iran is located in an area with high earthquake risk. There are over 20 active faults with length of 500 km and also densely populated parts of the country have been rendered vulnerable to strong earthquakes. However, existence of eight faults of the main faults of Iran along with at least 18 faults with length of more than 100 km in Kerman province have turned the place into one of the riskies...

In this paper we compare & analyze on high rise building, in included the reactions of seismic effect wind. past years many research done Analysis building with and without shear walls. All same work for little (G+10) The current consist correlation between framed wall presence wind force, earthquake etc For design buildings, reinforcement concrete structural walls or are higher resisting m...

Bridges are built in a variety of locations, many of which are susceptible to earthquakes. These bridges must be built to achieve the objectives of both accelerated bridge construction (ABC) and rapid return to service following a disaster. The concept of designing sacrificial elements to dissipate seismic energy while preserving the integrity of the structure’s other main components is known a...

Steel Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) is an emerging seismic load-resistant system that, compared to other systems, enjoys the advantages of stable ductile behavior, fewer detailing requirements, rapid constructability, and economy. American seismic provisions decree that a SPSW should be designed as a moment frame with a web infill plate. Specifically, in case of buildings taller than 160 ft, it decre...

This paper presents the seismic performance of moment-resisting timber frame (MRTF). In Japanese urban areas, there are many small houses, and it is difficult to design a wooden building ensure both comfortable plan that effectively makes use constrained sites, also lacks flexibility in design. Therefore, expectations rising for high MRTF using residential members. this study, clarify dynamic b...
