Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate the effect soil type on buildings experiencing floor-to-column pounding during earthquakes. Five with 4-storeys, 6-storeys, and 7-storeys were considered. Three types 4-storey building different total heights taken into account which leads at 1/3, 1/2 2/3 height impacted column. Two scenarios considered, i.e. between 6-storey (three cases when co...

Abstract The modern design and construction of buildings have led to the adoption irregular shapes which can attract large seismic forces induce stress concentrations in building itself. To investigate this fact a number research studies been carried out. This study presents review summary performance considering vertical irregularity subjected earthquake loadings. be found by using linear nonl...

Care homes are not institutions, They are people’s homes. They are not “healthcare establishments”, They provide nursing care as part of a range of personal care services. People living in care homes are not “patients”. People living in care homes have a right to expect clean, safe environments and care. People using a service have the right to make choices, including taking risk. People living...

Abstract Vertical structures exhibit flexibility than ordinary and also they show sensitivity in earthquake excitation. As per the safety standards of construction, are built with simple uniform configurations. Focusing on aesthetic view these vertical structures, discontinuity stiffness occurs there by resulting soft storey. this feature is highly undesirable buildings especially seismic activ...
