Response spectrum analysis and equivalent static analysis is widely used by engineers and engineering offices to estimate buildings and structures response to earthquakes. But performance based procedures to evaluate buildings and new designs according to Syrian code and other international codes require response analysis using smallest of earthquake records, where we can estimate engineeringdemandparameters(EDPs)— floordisplacements,storydrifts,memberforces,memberdeformations,etc.— ofbuildingsandspecialstructuressubjectedtogroundmotions, consecutively to verify required performance criteria. Theserecordsshouldbeproperlyselectedandscaledincompliancewithsitespecifichazardconditionstoestimate (EDPs) and ensure that they verify ―expected‖ median demands. In this study, background, selection procedures compatible with Syrian code, and review of most scaling methods were introduced. The structural response was studied by comparing displacements due to response spectrum analysis, scaled records using PGA, and synthetic time histories records in time domain and frequency domain (generated according to Syrian response spectrum). Tow three-dimensional models of real buildings in Lattakia city were used as study cases, the results obtained by 20 analysis processes. The results show that analysis using synthetic records compatible with Syrian code give noticeably less displacements estimates comparing with response spectrum analysis and analysis using records scaled by PGA scaling.

In this study, basic methodologies and procedures for generation synthetic time histories in time domain and frequency domain are summarized. These synthetic time histories are matching Syrian spectrum and compatible with wide range of buildings m odels and soil types according to the seismic parameters of Lattakia city. This paper will discuss the Selection and scaling criteria of three real time history records available in strong ground motion databases to satisfy the Syrian spectrum, and the suitability as input to time history analysis of civil engineering structures.
: Nonlinear response history evaluation is becoming a practical tool due to availability of high performance computing and recommendations of the new seismic guidelines, and due to the increase of available strong ground motion database. When testing the selected and scaled ground motions, it’s a standard procedure to use the time history analysis to validate the results in terms of structural responses and their variation. this proves the efficiency of the presented procedure. In this study the selection and scaling criteria of real time history records to satisfy the Syrian design code are discussed. Ten set of records have been selected and scaled, every set consists of seven records of available real records, to match the Syrian design spectra. The resulting time histories are investigated and compared in terms of suitability as input to time history analysis of civil engineering structures, by mean of time history analyses of SDOF systems which are conducted to examine the efficiency of the scaling method in reducing the scatter in structural response. The nonlinear response of SDOF systems is represented by bilinear hysteretic model. Assuming 5 different Periods, α=3% post-yield stiffness, a number of 700 runs of analysis are conducted. And a number of 280 runs of analysis are conducted for MDOF systems.
This research deals with the minimum cost design of reinforced concrete T-beams according to the Syrian code. The aim is to minimize the total cost of the beam while respecting all the design requirements. Traditional method depend on a set of supp ositions, in the opposite this methodology aim to reach the optimal solution among a set of constraints with respect the objective function. So that, using this methodology leading to the minimum cost reinforced section design. This research is shown that the problem can be formulated in a nonlinear mathematical programming format. Several cases are used to explain the applicability of the formulation in accordance with the current Syrian code. Traditional method of Syrian code has been used to design sections in this paper, utilizing the nonlinear programming method provided by Lingo14.0 software from LINDO Systems Inc. The comparison of the results shows that important saving can be obtained at the total cost of a reinforced concrete T-beams design.
In this paper the effect of the distinctive properties of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) ―the ability to undergo large deformation and restore it after stress removal‖ has been studied to see to what degree it may affect the structural performance of mul ti-storey tall buildings. Using ANSYS software, two 3D Finite Element (FE) models are built for a composite multi-storey building (20 story) which is resistant to lateral loads by bracing system. One of them is with steel bracing and the other is with SMA bracing. Both models take into account nonlinear material properties of elements and geometric nonlinearity. The model with SMA material shows improved performance compared with the model of steel bracing in terms of residual deformations and ductile performance.
This analysis deals with the evaluation of the fuel burnup behavior for PWR-1150 reactor assembly by modifying with changing both, the number of fuel rod which have burnable absorber (BA) and the percent weight of BA in each rod. The achieved resul t presented in this paper enables determine the suitable structure of reactor assembly when fuel enrichment equal to 4.4%. The GETERA 90 code was used to perform assembly burnup calculation. For validation purposes they are compared with selected experimental data for similar reactor.
