BEHAVIORAL STUDY OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BUILDINGS DURING MAINSHOCK–AFTERSHOCK EARTHQUAKES
Abstract: ABSTRACT - Earthquakes are among most destructive natural hazards, often causing widespread damage to buildings and vital infrastructure. The extent of this damage depends on various factors, one of which is the nature of fault movement. The point of initial rupture beneath the Earth’s surface is known as the hypocenter or focus. Seismic activity can be broadly divided into two categories: mainshocks and aftershocks. While the mainshock generally causes the …
