USING ULTRA-HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE FOR ELIMINATING SOFT AND WEAK STORY IRREGULARITIES IN SPECIAL REINFORCED CONCRETE MOMENT RESISTING FRAMED STRUCTURES
(An Najah National University, 2022-02-27)Multistory buildings are common in Palestine and sometimes are built with a ground floor that has an open space or is higher than the rest floors for commercial purposes. Therefore, the soft and weak story irregularities ... -
Seismic Assessment of Public Schools in Palestine According to International Building Code IBC
(جامعة النجاح الوطنية, 2019-07-22)It is known that schools in countries need special requirements for implementation issues controlling all needs reaching the best way for safely use to all occupants. Moreover; schools -as they are core of communities- ... -
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 ... -
Seismic Assessment of Historical Buildings in Palestine Nativity Church as a Case-Study
(جامعة النجاح الوطنية, 2019-07-22)This thesis addresses the study of the seismic assessment of historical structures in Palestine, by focusing on general condition and structural stability of The Church of Nativity in Bethlehem, which is the most valuable ... -
The Effect of Various Patterns of Internal Partitions on the Fundamental Period of Reinforced Concrete Framed Buildings -Experimental and FE Modelling Study
(جامعة النجاح الوطنية, 2018-09-20)Reinforced concrete (RC) with infill wall partitions are common structures in Palestine. The presence of infill walls can definitely influence the seismic behavior of the structure, as they contribute to the total mass and ... -
Effects of Structural Links Between Building and Ground Cut on its Seismic Performance
(جامعة النجاح الوطنية, 2020-10-14)يشكل المهندس الانشائي وعالم الزلازل المفتاح الأساسي لضمان تصميم آمن للمنشآت لأحمال الزلازل، الا أن التطبيق الشائع هو أن يبدأ المهندس المعماري عملية التصميم للمبنى، وعليه يحدد العديد من الأمور التي لها علاقة بتكوين المنشأ ... -
Influence of Bearing Non-Reinforced Parameter Walls with Stone Cladding on Fundamental Period Computation
(جامعة النجاح الوطنية, 2019-08-21)ينتشر في فلسطين نمط البناء باستخدام التكسية الحجرية الطبيعية وعادةً ما تُنشأ هذه الجدران باستخدام طبقة من الخرسانة غير المسلحة، أو من الطوب المفرغ . جرت العادة أن يتم إهمال هذه الجدران من التحليل الإنشائي، حيث تعتبر هذه ... -
Improving Ductility Behavior of Sway-Special Exterior Beam-Column Joints Using Ultra-High Performance Concrete.
(جامعة النجاح الوطنية, 2020-01-21)إن المفاصل الخرسانية هي أكثر العناصر الحرجة في المنشأ. لذلك فإن كودات التصميم ومن ضمنها الكود الأمريكي للخرسانة يوفر متطلبات حازمة لتصميم العقد الخرسانية في المنشآت ذات التمايل الخاص لمنع اتهيارها مع درجة ممطولية منطقية ... -
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 ... -

(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 ...
