The aim of seismic strengthening for masonry buildings is to upgrade structural strength and
improve inelastic deformation capacity. Most of the strengthening techniques in practice are …

Several design codes consider the non-linear response of a building by using one of the
most important seismic parameters, called the response reduction factor (R). The lack of a …

Most current seismic design includes the nonlinear response of a structure through a
response reduction factor (R). This allows the designer to use a linear elastic force-based …

The selection of an adequate response reduction factor (R) in the seismic design of a
reinforced concrete building is critical to the building's seismic response. To construct a …

In the seismic design of a reinforced concrete building, selecting appropriate response
reduction factor (R) is vital for the building's seismic response. Indian Standard (IS) 1893 …

In recent years, several research groups have studied a new generation of analysis methods
for seismic response assessment of existing buildings. Nevertheless, many important …

Pipe racks are important part of Industrial Structures such as oil refineries, petrochemical
sector, as they are used to support piping systems that transports fluids from one place to the …

Many countries still adopt the seismic design approach in UBC97 for RC special moment-
resisting frame buildings (SMRFs), which suggests a fixed value of the seismic response …

This study examines the structural performance of different Elevated Storage Reservoirs
(ESRs) under static earthquake conditions, focusing on Zone V, a severe earthquake zone …

It is well known that facilities like storage reservoirs and tanks have a great priority as it
serves mainly for portable drinking water for a huge population. In general, water tanks are …
