تشكل المعالم الأثرية السورية جزء اساسيا من التراث الإنساني, ومن هنا تبرز أهمية الحفاظ على هذه المعالم وعلى الرسالة التاريخية التي تنقلها للأجيال القادمة . ويعتبر انهيار الأبنية لأسباب جيوتكنيكية من أهم أسباب انهيارات الأبنية وخاصة في حالة حدوث الهزات
الأرضية.
يهدف هذا البحث إلى دراسة السلوك الزلزالي المتبادل بين التربة وبناء واقع في قلب مدينة دمشق القديمة وهو البرج الواقع في الواجهة الشمالية لقلعة دمشق الذي يحاذيه نهر بانياس. وقد تم الأخذ بعين الاعتبار الوضع الجيولوجي والزلزالي لموقع دمشق والمواد المستخدمة في الإنشاء ومواصفاتها الفيزيائية الحالية.
وخلص البخث إلى تحديد تأثير السلوك الزلزالي للتربة على الإجهادات والانتقالات المتكونة في البناء وانعكاس وجود النهر القريب على هذا السلوك بالإضافة الى احتمالية ظهور التشققات في البناء.
Cracks of irrigation channel’s service roads are becoming a significant feature in Al-Ghab region. All information indicates that lateral spreading of stresses in slope vicinity induced cracks in the side parts of roads. These cracks resulted from la
teral displacements, which could dominate total displacements. This
paper presents a geotechnical evaluation of the possibility to mitigate this phenomena by using geogrid soil reinforcement. Finite elements numerical model analysis is performed to calculate total, horizontal and vertical displacements at road side near channel’s slope. Numerical models include different cases of
un-reinforced soil and geogrid reinforced soils at different locations. Locations of geogrid were chosen carefully to attain the best effectiveness. Beneficial factor and coefficient of efficiency were determined for reinforced road.
Braced frames and steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) have both been shown
to be useful in the seismic retrofit of buildings. While both
these systems have merit, no guidance exists to determine which of the
two approaches is preferable in terms of pr
oviding maximum
displacement ductility and energy dissipation per cycle for a given
strength. This paper describes and compares results from numerical
evaluation using FEM, in which the nonlinearity of materials and the
nonlinear effects of the large displacement was included for tow frames.
The results of numerical study was identical to the experimental tests,
then a barometric study was achieved by changing the thickness of infill
plate then the area of the cross sections of braces, after that the width of
the frame was modified.
The result shown that using steel infill plate is preferable when the
dimension of bay is three times the height, while using braces is more
adequate for frames in which the dimension of bay is less than three times
the height.
This study aims to investigate the capacity of numerical
models to reproduce the monotonic behavior of reinforced concrete
framed structures.
