Optimization of Shear Wall Placement to Improve Seismic Performance of High-Rise Buildings Using Pushover Analysis

High-rise reinforced concrete buildings are susceptible to seismic forces due to their slenderness and flexibility, necessitating effective lateral load-resisting systems. This study investigates the optimal placement of shear walls to enhance seismic performance. A seven-story symmetrical building model was developed...

Evaluating the Seismic Performance of Circular Concrete-Encased Steel Bridge Columns for High Seismicity Regions

This research evaluates the seismic resilience of lifeline bridge columns in Vancouver, British Columbia, by comparing traditional reinforced concrete (RC) columns with an equivalent circular concrete-encased steel (CES) system. Designed to meet the stringent performance-based requirements of CSA S6-25 and the BC Minis...

Enhancing the seismic performance of plan irregular L-shaped reinforced concrete buildings using steel bracing systems

Seismic retrofitting of existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings is often required because of deficiencies in their original design, changes in seismic provisions, or increased functional demands. This study evaluates the effectiveness of steel bracing for improving the seismic performance of a ten-story, plan-irreg...

Seismic Performance of Insulated Ribbed Composite Walls with Openings: Quasi-Static Tests, FE Modeling, and Parametric Evaluation

Ultralightweight insulated ribbed composite walls (IRCWs) offer a promising solution for prefabricated energy-efficient construction. However, seismic design principles for walls with openings, which are commonly required in practice, remain poorly defined. This paper presents experimental and numerical investigation...

Evaluation of Seismic Design Parameters for Metal Buildings with Heavy Wall and Heavy Roof in High Seismic Zones

The objective of this paper is to explore the seismic performance of metal building systems when they are designed as steel ordinary moment frames (OMFs) but have wall and roof dead loads that exceed prescriptive limits in the United States’ loads standard (ASCE 7). A set of archetype frames—spanning both clear span an...

Seismic Performance Evaluation of Multi-Storey RCC Buildings with Shear Walls Using ETABS

This study investigates the seismic performance of multi-storey reinforced concrete (RC) buildings integrated with RC shear walls, using ETABS software for structural modelling and dynamic analysis. Building models with G+3, G+13, and G+23 storeys were analysed in accordance with IS 1893:2016 provisions, representing s...
