Seismic performance of steel frames with a hybrid bracing system combining concentric steel bracing and friction dampers

Abdulkhalik Abdulridha, Ibrahim Harba, Ahmed AL-Shaar

This paper assesses a hybrid bracing system involving concentric steel bracing in combination with friction dampers to improve seismic performance in steel moment frame buildings. Three prototype (5, 10, and 15 stories) steel moment frame…

Effect of beam-column joints flexibility on the seismic response of setback RC buildings designed according to the Algerian seismic code

Abdallah Yacine Rahmani, Said Hicham Boukhalkhal, Mohamed Badaoui

The Algerian seismic code assumes that the beam-column joints in monolithic reinforced concrete (RC) buildings are fully rigid. However, many experiments have proven the existence of relative rotations in these connections, and then the…

An interface-based microscopic model for the failure analysis of masonry structures reinforced with timber retrofit solutions

Fabrizio Greco, Lorenzo Leonetti, Paolo Lonetti, Paolo Nevone Blasi, Arturo Pascuzzo, Giacinto Porco

This paper presents a refined Finite Element (FE) modeling strategy for analyzing the failure behavior of regular masonry structures reinforced with timber-based retrofit solutions. The proposed model schematizes the masonry as brick…

Degradation of the first frequency of an RC frame with damage levels

Quy Nguyen, Ramazan Livaoğlu

Damage in RC structures causes the degradation of stiffness and frequency parameters. In this study, the relationship between the two coefficients and damage severities is numerically investigated considering a three-dimensional (3D)…
