The Effect of Earthquake Vertical Component on the Response of Cantilever Beams in Multi-Storey Reinforced Concrete Building
(An-Najah National University, 2021-07-15)Structural design to withstand seismic loading is mainly governed by horizontal ground motion, and the effects of vertical ground motion have long been considered insignificant or secondary. However, an emerging evidence ... -
Effect of Column Orientation on Response Modification Factor (R-Factor) of Reinforced Concrete Frames
(An-Najah National University, 2018-09-20)Response Modification factor (R-Factor) is an essential seismic design parameter, which is typically used to describe the level of inelasticity expected in structural systems during an earthquake and is used to reduce the ... -
Enhancing Earthquake Resistance of Local Structures by Reducing Superimposed Dead Load
(An-Najah National University, 2018-02-08)The geographical location of Palestine along the Aqaba-Dead Sea Transform Fault, the highest seismic active boundary in the Middle East, had put the country in a major hazard over the past history. Although seismic hazards ... -
Effect of Shear Wall Openings on the Fundamental Period of Shear Wall Structures
(An-Najah National University, 2018-08-13)A common approach in resisting lateral forces is the use of reinforced concrete shear walls in low-rise and mid-rise buildings. These walls represent the main elements to resist the lateral forces due to their large strength ... -
Effect of Using Fiber Reinforced Polymers on the Ductility of Retrofitted Reinforced Concrete Joint
(An-Najah National University, 2018-01-24)Reinforced concrete (R.C) structures are common in Palestine. One considerable weakness in these structures is the connection between beams and columns. Several researchers showed that reinforced concrete joints suffer ... -
Seismic Assessment and Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings Using Nonlinear Static Procedures (NSPs) -Pushover Procedures-
(An-Najah National University, 2017-07-13)Design of buildings for seismic loads is becoming mandatory in Palestine. However, what about the existing buildings? Existing buildings, especially old ones, were mostly designed under the influence of static loads. Such ... -
Simplified Conceptual Equation for Soil-Structure Interaction for Simple Structures Due To Vertical Loads for Practical Purposes
(2016)The non-uniform settlements represent a big challenge for the structural engineers due to the problems caused by this phenomenon. Many cracks in the walls, columns and slabs occur due to such non-uniform settlements. These ... -
Developing a Computer Program for Analysis and Design of Reinforced Concrete Sections; AD RCS
(2004)A need for a computer program to analyze and design reinforced concrete sections for both academic education and engineering offices services is beyond doubt. Also, a need for having programs in Arabic language to help ...
