Rural Building Base Isolation for Seismic Protection Using LRB and Friction Isolator
Abstract: Over 50% of the population of India, which is still developing, lives in unreinforced masonry buildings. Masonry constructions perform poorly and can collapse suddenly because they are susceptible to seismic loads and loads acting out of plane. Building collapse not only destroys public property but also claims life. It has been demonstrated that base isolation approaches for these types of structures are advantageous; in the event of seismic forces, they …

Evaluating the Capabilities of Reinforced Concrete Open Ground Storey Frames Through Nonlinear Static Analysis
Abstract: The lack of infill in multi-story buildings in urban India, particularly on the ground floor or other floors for purposes such as parking or open storefronts, can result in vertical stiffness irregularity and make the structure more vulnerable to earthquakes. The practice of incorporating open first stories in seismic active areas is widely regarded as undesirable due to the risk of building collapse during earthquakes. With advancements in computer technology …
