abstract to resist lateral loads in concrete buildings, usually systems such as flexural frame, shear wall or their combinations are used. using x form of cable bracing in order to strengthen concrete buildings is a new method. this system is more economical compared with the other systems due to cables low weight, high tensile resistance, easy performance and less maintenance problems. in this...

A method to predict the column size for displacement based design of reinforced concrete frame buildings with higher target inter storey drift is reported here. The column depth derived from empirical relation as a function of given beam section, target inter-story drift, building plan features and common displacement based design parameters is used. Regarding the high drift requirement, a mini...

In this section, we will use the Hammer et. al. data [1] to illustrate how to use the functions in the sSeq package. The two conditions are control Sprague Dawley after 2 months (Condition A) and L5 SNL Sprague Dawley after 2 months (Condition B). There are two samples within each condition. This data is included in the sSeq package as an example, and can be imported as follows. “countsTable” i...
