Seismic Analysis

Preamble Objectives Works- In Progress

1. A seven storied building was selected to investigate its seismic performance (Fig. 1).
2. The structure will be strengthened by the FRP and TRM systems (Fig. 2 and 3) upon its seismic demand.
3. A set of 20 earthquake records was selected to perform the dynamic analysis (Fig. 4).
4. The finite element modeling of the structure in a simulation environment will be describe in the next note.
