Buildings designed primarily for gravity loads are prone to shear failures in walls, columns and beams when subjected to far field effects of earthquakes. Previously, pushover analyses carried out on these buildings were terminated when a local shear capacity was reached. However, in a recent study by considering shear yielding, ductile shear hinge...

The need for repairing and strengthening RC buildings and their structural elements occurs when their elements do not possess sufficient strength, stiffness, and/or ductility due to damage mostly caused by earthquakes. Within the scope of this study, special emphasis will be given to RC buildings where the built-in concrete has not achieved the des...
Diagrids are known as an esthetically pleasing and structurally efficient system. The current design codes and provisions, however, provide no specific guidelines for their design under extreme events such as earthquakes. This paper presents a comprehensive investigation of the performance of steel diagrid structures to evaluate their key seismic p...
Prestressed precast concrete columns are recently considered as excellent design
options due to their self-centering capability for seismic actions. Axial prestressing
is designed to control cracking at the precast joints by service loads. In this paper,
a combination of continuous reinforcing bars and prestressing tendons was
suggested to enhance...
Reinforced concrete (RC) walls constitute the main lateral load resisting system for the majority of buildings. Their inelastic response allows dissipating the seismic energy. This behaviour ensures achieving the life safety performance level on the cost of inducing significant damage to the buildings. The effect of using Engineering Cementitious C...
During its history, Algeria has suffered several destructive earthquakes. According to the observations made during these earthquakes, the Algerian seismic regulation: RPA 82, RPA 83 and RPA 99 revised en 2003, seems insufficient and the buildings have suffered considerable damage. Which explains the presence of failures and insufficiencies in the...
