The significance of the seismic rotational components have been overlooked in the seismic evaluation of structural behavior. As researchers have measured seismic components more accurately using sensitive rotational velocity sensor, it was observed that the magnitude of rotational components is considerable and could not be neglected. Hence, some parts of seismic damage or failure of structures...

Hybrid moment frame come together with reinforced concrete columns with structural steel beams (RCS). This Composite system provides several key advantages over current steel or concrete moment resisting frame. Past studies have shown this system to be efficient in both design and building stage while able to keep sufficient strength and necessary ductility in seismic zone.Although past researc...

the objective of this paper is to determine the drift demand hazard curves of steel moment-resisting frames with different number of stories in territory of tehran this is done through the combination of the results obtained from probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and the demand estimated through the best probabilistic seismic demand models. to select the best demand model, in this paper, a ...

Seismic vulnerability of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings is strongly influenced by beam-column joints. Horizontal and vertical structural members converge in joints, as extremely delimited areas where the internal forces core reinforcing bars have elevated stress gradients. In order to fully understand seismic behavior RC related failures T- X-shaped joints (external corner internal-position...

dual systems of steel moment frame and reinforced concrete shear wall have combined the advantages of steel frames and reinforced concrete shear wall. these walls have increased the lateral stiffness of steel frames and have reduced seismic demands on steel frames thus providing opportunities to use such system. in this research intermediate dual system of steel moment frame was chosen with int...
