In the present era, there is more demand for high-rise buildings. The growing de- mand buildings brings new difficulties and comes up with safety precautions. With an increase in height of structure, its rigidity reduces, making it difficult to withstand earthquake wind effects, hence some preventative structural systems must be used. Some them are bracings, shear walls, outrig- ger belt truss ...

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...

The traditional Extended Kalman filter (EKF) is a useful tool for structural parameter identification with limited observations. It is, however, not applicable when the excitations on the structure are unknown or the excitation locations are not monitored. A novel Extended Kalman filter approach referred to as the General Extended Kalman filter with unknown inputs (GEKF-UI) is proposed to estim...

In India the enormous loss of life and property perceived in last couple decades, attributable to failure structures instigated by earthquakes. Responsiveness is now being given assessment sufficiency strength framed RCC resist solid ground motions. The seismic reaction building frame terms performance point earthquake forces on Reinforced with help pushover analysis carried out this project. m...

Abstract—Buildings with floating column are highly undesirable built in seismically active areas. Many urban multi-storey buildings today have floating column buildings which are adopted to accommodate parking at ground floor or reception lobbies in the first storey. The earthquake forces developed at different floor levels in a building need to be brought down along the height to the ground by...
