Variation of behavior factor of reinforced concrete moment resisting frames (RC-MRFs) with
high and medium ductility level is investigated upon the effect of concrete confinement for …

Surrounding the central core of a concrete component by means of an internal or external
factor such as transverse reinforcements, carbon and polymer fibers and steel sheets …

Lateral pressure plays a significant role in the stress-strain relationship of compressed
concrete. Concrete's internal cracking resistance, ultimate strain, and axial strength are …

Although infill panels are considered as non-structural elements in the analysis and design
process of building frames, these members may significantly affect the seismic performance …

The response modification factor (R-factor) of reinforced concrete (RC) moment resisting
frames (MRFs) designed with adequate ductility in accordance with the Egyptian code is …

Moment resisting frames are commonly used as the dominant mode of lateral resisting
system in seismic regions for a long time. The poor performance of Ordinary Moment …

In this study, the influence of confined concrete models on the response of reinforced
concrete structures is investigated at member and global system levels. The commonly …

Capacity design concept for reinforced concrete frame systems is based on a hierarchy of
the strength and stiffness properties of the structural elements so that the seismic energy …

This paper presents the performance based seismic assessment and economic loss
evaluation of reinforced concrete (RC) moment resisting frame (MRF) structures built using …

The redundancy factor is applied to increase the redundancy of structures that not had a
sufficient degree of static indeterminacy in many international standards. The redundancy …
