Seismic Response Of Buildings

Infilled reinforced concrete (IRC) frames are a very common construction typology, not only in developing countries such as Pakistan but also in southern Europe and Western countries, due to their ease of construction and less technical skills required for the construction. Their performance during past earthquakes has been in some cases satisfactory and in other cases inadequate. Significant effort has been made among researchers to improve such performance, but few have highlighted the influence of construction materials used in the infill walls. In some building codes, infills are still considered as non-structural elements, both in the design of new buildings and, sometimes, in the assessment of existing buildings. This is mainly due to some difficulties in modeling their mechanical behavior and also the large variety of typologies, which are difficult to categorize. Some building codes, for example, Eurocode, already address the influence of infill walls in design, but there is still a lack of homogeneity among different codes. For example, the Pakistan building code (PBC) does not address infills, despite being a common construction technique in the country. Past earthquake survey records show that construction materials and infill types significantly affect the seismic response of buildings, thus highlighting the importance of investigating such parameters. This is the object of this work, where a numerical model for infill walls is introduced, which aims at predicting their failure mode, as a function of some essential parameters, such as the friction coefficient between mortar and brick surface and mortar strength, usually disregarded in previous models. A comprehensive case study is presented of a three-story IRC frame located in the city of Mirpur, Pakistan, hit by an earthquake of magnitude 5.9 on 24 September 2019. The results obtained from the numerical model show good agreement with the damage patterns observed in situ, thus highlighting the importance of correctly modeling the infill walls when seismically designing or assessing Pakistani buildings that make use of this technology.

Setting the late poured band is to solve different settlement between high-rise buildings and to settle the reinforced concrete body temperature--contraction stress. In addition, it effectively avoids the harmful cracks caused by the reinforced concrete body. So it is vital to set the late poured band and organize the correct construction. This paper aims at elaborating types of post pouring belt, construction preparation, construction technique, quality and so on.

Deformation Law

In recent years, as China's national sustained and rapid economic development, the state increased investment to middle-western region, promote the regional development of high grade highway. Therefore, highway tunnel through loess area is getting more and more. Due to the special physical properties of loess, it makes the loess tunnel construction a hot topic. To study on the deformation law of the loess highway tunnel, this paper based on the Shanxi Province Guang Ling to Hun Yuan highway tunnel—East Fu Yao tunnel, we simulate the whole section pre-reinforcement construction technique for three dimensional numerical, and combined with field monitoring measurement to compare and analyze in paper
