Investigation The Applicability of Coupled Pinned Supported (Rocking) Walls To High Rise Buildings
Investigation The Applicability of Coupled Pinned Supported (Rocking) Walls To High Rise Buildings
Master Thesis:
Investigation the applicability of coupled pinned supported (Rocking) walls to high rise buildings
My research interest: Seismic response of tall buildings and long-span structures
Interested in four high rise structural systems:
• Rigid Frame structural system, Wall frame (dual) system, Shear wall system
Seismic response
Post-earthquake outcome
Retrofitting method
Reinforced Concrete retrofitting solution
Depending on type of problems, externally adding new walls, or adding shear wall only in desired story
Braces
• Core and outrigger systems ( Both concrete and steel type)
Seismic response
1. Simplified MDOF system
2. 2D, and 3D finite element model
Optimization taking strong ground motion in to consideration
Considering different types of irregularities in bottom stories, Failures and solutions
• Seismic response of interconnected (linked) tall buildings
• Long span structures
Single axis excitation
Multiple support excitation
