β¦ Synopsis
An integrated analyticalaexperimental study is conducted to investigate the use of high-strength concrete (8 000Β± 10 000 psi) in high-rise framed tube structural systems located in areas of high seismic risk. Results indicate that displacement demands from recorded strong ground motions are less than that which can be supplied by critical beam-to-column joints in the designed structure. Furthermore, the structural system offers high lateral stiffness, high redundancy and high energy dissipation through well-distributed plastic hinging in the spandrel girders.

## Abstract This study focuses on the seismic performance of Ordinary MomentβResisting Concrete Frames (OMRCF) designed only for gravity loads. For this purpose, a 3βstory OMRCF was designed in compliance with the minimum design requirements in the American Concrete Institute Building Code ACI 318
A cost model consisting of fabrication, handling, cladding, foundation and erection costs is constructed and a suite of programs is developed to analyse, design, cost and optimize a family of precast concrete structures. These procedures are further illustrated with cost response surfaces which are
This paper presents an impregnation technique based on fluorescent ethanol that makes it possible to do plane section and thin section analysis on concretes of very low w/b-ratios. The technique is called Fluorescent Liquid Replacement technique (FLR) and is based on a principle where the pore water
