The Seismic design for nuclear facilities has been subject of complex analysis of the type usually performed for nuclear power plants. For the purpose of ensuring seismic safety for nuclear facilities with limited radioactive inventory, a simplified approach was adopted by the IAEA safety guides with emphasis on appropriate construction and detailing principles rather than sophisticated dynamic analysis. This work presents the equivalent static approach, with an application for a frame element, a dynamic analysis is also achieved using a computer program (DRAIN – 2DX) with real (time – history earthquake) for the purpose of comparison, the results lead to some observations and notes which have to be taken into account for the seismic safety design.

This paper presents the results of analyzing 17 models with nonlinear static analysis. The models are 5, 10 and 15-story framewall structures with Re-entrant corners. The participations of frames to resist the shear force range between 25% and 60% .
Bridges are important and vital structures that provide communication between different regions. Due to their importance, their design has had a great attention throughout the world, as evidenced by the continuous development of seismic design code s such as AASHTO, which now adopts the performance-based design, and requires through a set of requirements and criteria that the bridge performance under the design earthquake is at life safety (LS) level and thus ensures that it does not collapse. Since most of the local bridges were built at periods where these criteria were not adopted, it is important to verify their performance and that they meet these criteria. In this paper, the seismic performance of an existing bridge, which represents a model for a wide range of local multi-span simply supported bridges, was evaluated by developing a 3D model of the bridge using SAP2000V19.1 and applying the nonlinear static analysis. The results of analysis have been used to verify that the bridge meets the AASHTO seismic requirements, which include the check of the P-Δ requirement, displacement demand/ capacity, members (columns) ductility, as well as the check of the shear demand/capacity of the columns. The results showed that the performance of the studied bridge under the seismic intensities adopted in the Syrian code achives the acceptable level which is life safity (LS), but it exceeds this level under high seismic intensity. The research also showed that there is compatibility between the results of nonlinear static analysis and AASHTO requirements.
Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), a comparison between PushOver Analysis (POA) and Response Spectrum Analysis (RSA) is done in this research to explore the application limits of POA on the irregular frame buildings from reinforced concrete.the comparison contains (failure mechanism, displacement, and ductility).
The retaining walls are one of most types of engineering constructions and it have built from natural stones before discovering concrete, Where natural stones have considered one of the early human materials used in building engineering constructio ns for thousands of years, and many facilities in ancient civilization still existing effects so far, And after the discovery of the concrete and reinforced concrete, the retaining walls which was built from natural stones diminished relatively Despite the years this retaining walls has not lost its luster and brilliance, and there is increased interest in recent years in using new building material which consists of manufactured stones where used together with traditional construction materials in several areas both in geotechnical engineering or building … Etc . This retaining walls present simple technical solutions and it is desirable for aesthetic reasons and simple implementation and resistance to external conditions, In addition to being economical solutions limited cost compared to traditional reinforced concrete retaining walls. This research deals with the study of the behavior of Segmental Stone Retaining Walls (SRW) under the static and dynamic loads and parametric study of the most important factors which influence stability of these retaining walls.
