  1. 1. Cross-comparison of Non-Linear Seismic Assessment Methods for Unreinforced Masonry Structures in Groningen

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Viktor Peterson; Zihao Wang; [2020]
    Keywords : Non-linear time-history analysis; non-linear pushover analysis; N2- method; equivalent frame model; continuum model; numerical seismic assessment; unreinforced masonry buildings iv;

    Abstract : A large amount of low-rise unreinforced masonry structures (URM) can be foundin Groningen, the Netherlands. More and more induced earthquakes with shortduration have been detected in this region due to gas exploitation. READ MORE

  4. 3. Seismic analysis and retrofitting of an existing multi-storey building in Stockholm

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Matilda Muca; Celine Haikal; [2018]
    Keywords : Earthquakes; seismic analysis; retrofitting; frequency; multi-storey building; shear wall; steel bracing; Jordbävningar; seismisk analys; förbättring av skadade byggnader; flervånings-byggnad; skjuvvägg; stålfackverk;

    Abstract : Throughout the years earthquakes are a huge concern for structures; causing losses of peoples’ lives, damages and collapse of homes. Usually, most of the buildings that collapse or have serious damages are mostly old buildings that do not fulfil any longer the updated regulations and building codes concerning seismic design.

  5. 4. Analysis of Tripod shaped high rise building using Tubed Mega Frame structures

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Sujan Kumar Rimal; Levi Grennvall; [2017]
    Keywords : high-rise building; inclined; slanted; tubed mega frame; tripode; höghus; vinklad; lutande; tubed mega frame; trefot;

    Abstract : Most of the tall buildings that are built today have a straight and vertical shape, because vertical buildings are more stable and easily built than slanted ones. In the case of vertical building, bending moments in the base only exists from horizontal loads such as wind and seismic loads, but in slanted buildings there will also be bending moments from dead and live loads.

  6. 5. Global Analysis of Tall Buildings with Tubed Mega Frame Structures

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Jenny Svärd; Arezo Partovi; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Today, tall buildings are generally built with a central core that transfers the loads down to the ground. The central core takes up a large part of the floor space and there is less room for the actual purpose of the building, such as offices and apartments. The consequence of this is also less rental profit. READ MORE
