Seismic Performance Enhancement of Floating Column Structures Using Friction Pendulum Bearings and Dampers

ABSTRACT Floating columns are a common structural element used in buildings to provide architectural flexibility and improve space utilization. By supporting columns on upper floors rather than at the ground level, floating columns allow for more open floor layouts, which is particularly beneficial in commercial and residential buildings where large, unobstructed spaces are required. However, […]

“Compressive Performance Analysis of Circular CFST Columns with Varying Steel Tube Thicknesses”

Abstract The current study focuses on the compressive performance of circular CFST columns, considering key factors such as concrete compressive strength, loading rate, and the diameter-to-thickness ratio. Initially, an M30 grade concrete mixture was used to form concrete cylinders, which were subjected to a compressive test after 28 days of curing. The resulting stress-strain relationships

Seismic Performance Analysis of Multi-Storey Educational Buildings with and without Bracing and Shear Walls under Different Seismic Zones

ABSTRACT Steel bracing and shear walls are crucial structural components in educational buildings as they help transfer lateral loads, such as those caused by seismic activity, directly to the foundation, bypassing columns and beams, which are designed primarily for gravity loads. These systems are essential in enhancing the building’s stability during lateral load events, particularly
