For the most part, the infrastructure existing in Sudan is not structured or planned to withstand seismic forces. The study investigated the seismic damage in Khartoum , Sudan, to an existing 5-storey reinforced concrete structure. In the report , three performance standards were considered, which included immediate occupancy, life protection, and prevention of collapse. Using…

Emerging Trends in Engineering Research and Technology Vol. 7 Achievements are presented for truss models of RC structures developed in previous years: 1. Two constitutive models, biaxial and triaxial, are based on regular trusses, with bars obeying nonlinear uniaxial σ-ε laws of material under simulation; both models have been compared with test results and show…
