Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsExperimental Investigation on Three Dimensional RC Infilled Frame - RC Plane Frame Interactions With Slab for Seismic ResistanceSuyamburaja Arulselvan, K. SubramanianExperimental investigation was planned and conducted to study the influence of brick masonry infill and slab in a three-dimensional reinforced cement concrete frame. In this study, one-fifth scale 3D R.C frame representing single story, three bays with central bay brick infill at the sides and a long single bay without infill in the middle of the frame along loading direction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,313 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Comparison Between the New and the Old Versions of Jordan Seismic CodeM.A. MusmarThe study comes as a vital step to shed120 light upon the purport of the recently published version of Jordan Seismic code (JSC), and how the drawbacks of the old version are surpassed. The new JSC code oversteps the old provisions, in that input parameters now have pronounced and significant physical meanings. The study concludes that the conversion from service … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,868 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCase Study on the Effects of Plan Irregularities on Seismic Performance of StructuresEduardo Flores, Tadeh ZirakianGeometric configurations, such as large openings, re-entrant corners, and discontinuity in diaphragms, are very common in architectural design but are seen as undesirable for structural performance during earthquakes. The lateral systems in a structure resist the strong forces induced during an earthquake, preventing damage or collapse of the structure. If these systems fail, the structural integrity of the building may … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 21 Jul 2024 · 5,723 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFire Evaluation of RC Frames Strengthened with FRPs Using Finite Element MethodReza Salehi, Abbas Akbarpour, Armaghan ShalbaftabarReinforced Concrete (RC) structures may confront with extreme loading conditions. Sometimes, structures are not only under extreme loading such as earthquakes but also, they may be subjected to fire. Therefore, investigation of reinforced concrete structures which are the most common ones is essential. In this study, experimental RC frame is considered to validate in ABAQUS finite element software. RC frame … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 5 Oct 2020 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Evaluation of RC Frames Strengthened with FRPs under Fire and Lateral LoadsReza Salehi, Abbas AkbarpourReinforced concrete is one of the most common structures in the world. These structures may be under extreme loading conditions such as earthquake or they may confront with other flooding, impact or even the fire load. In the term of fire load, RC structures are very sensitive and due to the brittle behavior, the fast collapsing happens. In this research, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2020 · 6,702 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBasis of Guidelines for Structural Design and Thermal Assessment of Buildings with Hybrid CLT-Glass ElementsNikola Perković, Vlatka Rajčić, Chiara Bedon et al.Facade elements are known to represent a building component with multiple performance parameters to satisfy. Among others, “advanced facades” take advantage from hybrid solutions, like the assemblage of laminated materials. In addition to enhanced mechanical properties that are typical of optimally composed hybrid structural components, these systems are energy efficient, durable and offer lightening comfort and optimal thermal performance. This … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 9 Apr 2020 · 6,969 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConcretes Resistance of Yam a Great PersistenceHossein Gholami, Majedeh Haeri-Hamedani, Mohsen Ghane, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-AskariToday all distinguish the position of earthquake withstanding of constructions in seismic-vulnerable zones. With respect to this opinion that current concrete constructions are usually considered and constructed depend on earliest rules lacking examining the result of seismic powers and the novel rules don’t guess any shake, so, these structures must be persistence capability. Investigation on standards of HPFRCC substantial as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 9 Oct 2019 · 7,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Evaluation of the Raking Energy in Damping System of Steel Stud Partition WallsSalah Amer, Sameer Hamoush, Taher M. Abu-LebdehNonstructural partition walls are usually specified based on the best practice without any structural design calculations. However, given the likely severe earthquake damage to nonstructural components and the substantial cost of repair to such components, it is imperative that we develop an understanding of the seismic response of the nonstructural partition walls when subjected to earthquake loading conditions. The main … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2015 · 7,640 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeismic Performance Evaluation of Reinforced Concrete Moment Resisting Frames with Various Ductility in Low Seismic ZoneN. Choopool, V. BoonyapinyoProblem statement: Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is at moderate risk for distant earthquake due to the ability of soft soil to amplify ground motion about 3-4 times although it locates in low seismic zone. In addition, before the enforcement of seismic loading for buildings in the Ministerial Law in 2007, many existing reinforced concrete buildings in Bangkok may have … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2011 · 9,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Seismic Active Earth Pressure Using Curved Failure Surface with Localized StrainHemanta HazarikaProblem statement: Correct evaluation of the earth pressure against retaining structure during earthquake is essential for the safe and economic design of geotechnical structures. Progressive deformation in the backfill and the assumed shape of failure wedge affect the calculated values of seismic earth pressures. However, no research until now is available that considers both of these two factors in an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,547 accessesView PDFCite
