Seismic isolation of high-rise buildings presents an opportunity but also a challenge to seismic isolation, a technique mostly used in the past in low and moderate-rise buildings. It turns out that under certain conditions ...

Curitiba’s urban planning has created sectors termed 'structural axes'. They work as inducers to the city linear growth and densification through verticalization so that infrastructure does not have to be enlarged. However, ...

The construction of tall buildings has gone through exponential growth in recent years, creating new earthquake engineering and design challenges. Prior studies, and existing seismic design guidelines, have suggested that ...

Currently, there is an increase in the demand for tall buildings in the city of Lima. This research proposes to reduce the dynamic amplification factor through the seismic design of tall buildings based on the requirements ...

Two existing RC shear wall buildings of 17 and 26 stories were analyzed using fully nonlinear finite element models, i.e., models that include nonlinear material behavior and geometric nonlinearities. The buildings are ...

Chile’s reinforced concrete (RC) design is based on ACI 318-08, where high-strength reinforcement is not allowed in seismic force-resistant members. In 2019, new requirements adopted by ACI 318 permitted the incorporation ...

This work presents a structural analysis, made through a numerical model conceived in SAP2000, which objective is to study the behavior of a steel structure of multiple floors subject to localized fire action. This paper ...
