Twisted tall building structures have recently been used as an architectural and structural form. On the other hand, there are very few studies on behavior of twisted buildings under seismic wind lateral loads. In this paper, wind-induced loads is investigated compared with their prismatic counterpart. As a case study, in Miami, Florida, modified by twisting all floor levels angle 3 degrees. La...

The paper considers the problem of calculating strength foundation slabs under seismic and wind loads. As an example, a numerical model hotel building to be built on bulk islands is presented. calculation slab performed using STARK ES software package. results are analyzed recommendations for strengthening given.

A total of nine specimens were constructed and tested under cyclic loads to investigate the differences in seismic behavior between glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP)-reinforced concrete (RC) joints RC beam-to-column joints. The experimental parameters included stirrup ratios, axial pressure ratios strength loading test results showed that GFRP-RC can withstand significantly high lateral def...

The seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete structures built with plain reinforcing bars is sometimes conditioned by the slippage between and surrounding in elements as exterior beam-column joints. anchorage beam core joint weak confinement, inappropriate reinforcement detailing for loads poor bond properties are common reasons collapse many structures. This paper presents results four unidire...
