Abstract:

Although the knowledge and technology of seismic analysis and seismic risk assessment tools have rapidly advanced in the past several decades, current seismic design codes and damage estimation methods ignore the effect of successive earthquakes on structures. In light of recent strong seismic events, mainshock-damaged structures are shown to be more vulnerable to severe damage and collapse during subsequent events. The increase in vulnerability during aftershocks results in the likelihood of increased damage and loss-of-life and property. After a major earthquake, structural engineers must a

Abstract:

A number of mid-height steel buildings have been erected recently in Bogotá. Their seismic risk might be high, given the new microzonation of Bogotá and the lack of comprehensive previous studies; noticeably, the response reduction factors were commonly obtained only from general recommendations. The objective of this work is to investigate the seismic performance of these buildings. This study is carried out on eighteen representative prototype buildings. All these edifices have plan symmetry and are uniform along their height. The eighteen considered prototype buildings are generated by comb

Abstract:

A detailed seismic performance assessment procedure has been developed for reinforced concrete frame buildings with masonry in-fill walls and reinforced concrete frames including shear walls. The procedure uses member damage functions, in terms of inter-story drift ratios, developed for the primary components: columns, beams, in-fill walls and shear walls. Analytical investigations carried out to determine the influence of a number of parameters on the damageability of components were combined with existing experimental data to develop component damage functions.

This study is intended to contribute to the understanding of the behaviour of buildings when subjected to blast loads, and to assess the potential for progressive collapse when columns are lost or severely damaged due to blasts. The objective of the study is twofold, i.e., (i) to investigate the performance of reinforced concrete frame buildings subjected to blast loads, and (ii) to assess the vulnerability of such buildings to progressive collapse. Two buildings designed for Ottawa in accordance with the 2005 edition of the National Building Code of Canada were used to achieve these objective

Abstract:

The seismic performance of schools deserves attention because of their unique occupancy characteristics and important post-earthquake role. Past experience has shown that school buildings are especially vulnerable to earthquakes; they are often irregular structures, and most of them were designed and built prior to the introduction of modern building codes that adequately address earthquake-resistant design and seismic hazard. This research addresses the concerns related to school earthquake safety for the province of Quebec by developing a seismic screening method for the evaluation of the pu

The following dissertation sets out a methodology for empirically determining the response of historic building fabric to exposure to weathering by the climate conditions wind driven rain and flood. Historic structures are inherently vulnerable to moisture ingress in that they are typically composed of porous materials, which naturally absorb moisture. Ingress leading to heightened moisture content causes decay and damage in the fabric, which can lead to deterioration in the mechanical behaviour of the material and construction systems. In recent years the trends observed in the climate sugges

Structural evaluation and seismic vulnerability assessment of Reinforced Concrete (R/C) buildings have especially become the focus of many researches in Turkey and abroad especially after the August 17, 1999 earthquake causing major life and property losses.

Floods are natural phenomena which are a threat to human settlements. Flooding can result in costly repairs to buildings, loss of business and, in some cases, loss of life.

It is difficult to prevent floods from occurring, but the effects of flooding can be managed in an attempt to reduce risks and costs of repair.

These are number of stories, strength of load-bearing wall material, regularity in plan and the arrangement of walls (required length, openings in walls, etc.). In addition to these four paramet

Terrorists usually target high occupancy iconic and public buildings using vehicle borne incendiary devices in order to claim a maximum number of lives and cause extensive damage to public property.

Most of these buildings have been or are built without consideration of their vulnerability to such events. Therefore, the vulnerability and residual capacity assessment of buildings to deliberately exploded bombs is important to provide mitigation strategies

Abstract:

The emphasis on seismic design and assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure has shifted from force-based to performance-based design and assessment to accommodate strength and ductility for required performance of building. RC frame structure may suffer different levels of damage under seismic-induced ground motions, with potentials for formation of hinges in structural elements, depending on the level of stringency in design. Thus it is required to monitor the seismic behaviour and performance of buildings, which depend on the structural system, year of construction and the leve

With this topic it is presented a review on the most recent methods and tools used for the seismic vulnerability assessment of masonry buildings, focusing the research developed both in Italy and Portugal. Moreover, a case study of an old stone masonry building aggregate was assessed, which is located in San Pio delle Camere (Abruzzo, Italy), slightly a ected by the 6th April 2009 L'Aquila earthquake. This building aggregate was modell

Abstract:

Der Klimawandel ist auf regionaler Ebene nachweisbar. Zudem gehen Forschungsergebnisse davon aus, dass sich Ereignisse wie Überflutung und Starkregen regional differenziert zukünftig noch intensivieren werden. Bereits heute belegen Schadensmeldungen in der Region Dresden einen sich aus den klimatischen Veränderungen ergebenden Handlungsbedarf in Form von Anpassungsmaßnahmen auf Gebäudeebene. Deshalb sind die Hauptziele der vorliegenden Arbeit das Aufzeigen der Verletzbarkeit von Wohngebäuden und die Erarbeitung von Vorschlägen für entsprechende Ertüchtigungen. Als Datenbasis dient zum einen d

Abstract:

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR R/C BUILDING VULNERABILITY INDEX AND MEMBER IMPORTANCE CALCULATION Turkey has many active faults which have the potential to generate large earthquakes. Recent earthquakes showed that the buildings in Turkey are not well designed and vulnerable to earthquakes. Previous studies on the subject showed that many structures in Turkey need to be strengthened before the next major earthquake to minimize property loss and casualties. A number of fast and approximate (mostly empirical) methods have been developed in the past to process large building stock. However, there are

Abstract:

The thesis moves from the need of understanding how a historical building would behave in case of earthquake and this purpose is strongly linked to the fact that the majority of Italian structures are old ones placed in seismic sites. Primarily an architectural and chronological research is provided in order to figure out how the building has developed in time; then, after the reconstruction of the skeleton of the analyzed element (“Villa i Bossi” in Gragnone, AR), a virtual model is created such that the main walls and sections are tested according to the magnitude of expected seismic events

Abstract:

Actualmente en la ciudad de Lima existe un número limitado de edificios de gran altura. Por lo que no existe mucha literatura de este tipo de edificaciones en Perú. Los códigos peruanos se enfocan en edificios de mediana y baja altura. Por ello, se requiere realizar estudios más detallados para analizar y diseñar de forma más adecuada estas edificaciones altas según la realidad del país. En el presente artículo, se desarrollará el análisis modal pushover a 6 tipos de edificaciones de concreto armado de 35 niveles en la ciudad de Lima. Se plantea 3 modelos de edificación con distinto sistema

Abstract:

La tesi verte su un’analisi di vulnerabilità sismica di un edificio esistente ed una conseguente ipotesi di adeguamento strutturale. L’edificio è stato realmente sottoposto ad un adeguamento sismico che, tuttavia, è diverso da quello proposto nell'elaborato di tesi. Lo studio di ingegneria Open Project è la società incaricata di eseguire i lavori. Il comportamento dell’edificio è stato valutato mediante la creazione di un modello della struttura su un software ad elementi finiti. I dati introdotti nel modello sono stati messi a disposizione da Open Project e sono presi dalle tavole tecnich
