This study focus on derivation of such fragility curves using classic mid-story isolation and reduction structures (MIRS) in China metropolis. This study focus on derivation of such fragility curves using conventional industrial frames with masonry infill wall. A set of stochastic earthquake waves compatible with the response spectrum of China seismic code selected to represent the variability in ground motion. Dynamic inelastic time history analysis was used to analyze the random sample of structures. MIRS seismic capability of longitudinal and transversal orientation is different. Stochastic damage scatter diagrams based different seismic intensity index are obtained.

This study focus on derivation of such vulnerability curves using Fiber Reinforced Polymers technologies retrofitted conventional RC industrial frames with masonry infill wall. A set of stochastic earthquake waves which compatible with the response spectrum of China seismic code are created. Dynamic time history analysis is used to compute the random sample of structures. Stochastic damage scatter diagrams based different seismic intensity index are obtained. Seismic vulnerability of FRP-reinforced RC industrial frames is lower than unreinforced frames obviously, and seismic capability of frames using FRP technologies is enhanced especially under major earthquake.

A lot of reinforced concrete (RC) frames have being collapsed during Si Chuan Earthquake (SCE) in western China May 12th.2008, at the same time others have being injured on several levers. In recent years how to evaluate reliability and fragility of the buildings and search reasonable design practice of seismic strengthening of these buildings is urgent mission. One goal of fragility analysis is set up relation between vulnerability and seismic intensity. A set of stochastic earthquake waves compatible with the response spectrum of China seismic code selected to represent the variability in ground motion. Dynamic inelastic time history analysis was used to analyze the random sample of structures. In the end structural weak position also be pointed as valuable consultation for diagnose these buildings and fragility curves of typical middle-storey RC frames of China was obtained finally.

A set of stochastic earthquake waves compatible with the response spectrum of China seismic code selected to represent the variability in ground motion. Dynamic inelastic time history analysis was used to analyze the random sample of structures. The result reveal that good effect for superstructure and reduction effect for substructure of MIRS is favorable and obvious under major earthquake, Weak position of MIRS was be pointed out and fragility curves of typical MIRS of China was obtained finally.

The BRB has a good seismic energy dissipation effect and it has been proved and applied to many specific projects. In this research, the GH Hotel, a high-rise building in Haikou with the seismic fortification intensity of eight degrees (0.3 g) is selected as a carrier, from which two contrast models of the 40th story with and without BRB are set up respectively. By Superposition Response Spectrum Analysis and Elastic Time-history Analysis, this study explores the seismic energy dissipation effect of BRB under frequent earthquake in high seismic intensity areas and draws some conclusions.


This paper presents an explicit behaviour of Reinforced Concrete frame by considering the masonry infill wall material fully and partially in the structure. A two storey 2D frames of six different cases and 10 storey 3D building of four different cases with fully and partially assignment of infill masonry walls. Analysis was performed in E-TABS software for all the 10 cases by generating synthetic earthquake matched time history with response spectrum. The study was carried out the effect of infill wall on the behaviour of column. The results were discussed and maximum storey displacements were taken in to consideration to study the behavior of the structure. The Storey displacements for the ten cases were taken in to account and revealed that higher displacements were observed in the cases with the partial infill and effect on column due to the partial or absence of infill wall adjacent to the column.

In the present study, friction damper, an energy dissipating passive device is explored to reduce the response of open ground storey building under lateral loading due to earthquake. This damper is installed in the selected bays of open ground storey so that the response is reduced. The masonry infill wall is macro-modeled in the form of compression only diagonal members. Three different types of bracing system were installed along with Pall friction damper – single diagonal tension – compression brace with friction damper, tension only cross brace with friction damper and chevron brace with friction damper were modeled using Wen’s plastic link element in SAP2000. G+4 storey buildings were analyzed using nonlinear time history analysis. The storey displacement and inter-storey drift for all the cases were compared in the study.

In recent years, frequent earthquakes have caused great casualties and economic losses in China. And in the earthquake, damage of buildings and the collapse is the main reason causing casualties. Therefore, in the design of constructional engineering, a seismicity of architectural structure is the pressing task at issue. Through time history analysis method, this paper analyzes the time history of building structural response and then it predicts the peak response of mode by response spectrum analysis. Based on this, this paper constructs a numerical simulation model for the architecture by using finite element analysis software SATWE. At the same time, this paper also calculates the structure seismic so as to determine the design of each function structure in architectural engineering design and then provides reference for the realization of earthquake-resistant building.

Abstract: Due to sloping land and high seismically active zones, designing and construction of multistory buildings in hilly regions is always a challenge for structural engineers. This review paper focuses to establish a review study on the Possible Types of building frame configuration in the hilly region and he behavior of Such building frames under seismic loading conditions, and (3) The recent research and developments to make such frames less vulnerable to earthquakes. This paper concludes that the dynamics characteristics of such buildings are significantly different in both horizontal and vertical directions, resulting in the center of mass and center of stiffness having eccentricity at point of action and not vertically aligned for different floors. When such frames are subjected to lateral loads, due to eccentricity it generates torsion in the frame. Most of the studies agree that the buildings resting on slanting ground have higher displacement and base shear compared to buildings resting on plain ground and the shorter column attracts more forces and undergoes damage when subjected to earthquake. Keywords: Building frame configuration, Seismic behavior, Dynamic characteristics, Response spectrum analysis, time history analysis.
