Every year, earthquakes cause injuries, deaths, severe structural damage to buildings and destruction of property in many countries. In developing countries, economic growth depends on industrial development. Therefore, if an earthquake occurs, it may cause severe damage to large industrial factories. This present study aims to examine the structural behavior of industrial buildings under the earthquake force which is a reinforced concrete building. The structure of an industrial building is different from a general building. In this study, the factory is a four-story building with the dimensions of 34.4 meters in width, 59.2 meters in length and 16.2 meters in height. In the analysis, the nonlinear dynamic procedure is applied to analyze the building behaviors. The 20 seismic waves are selected and adjusted with the ASCE41-13. LMSR wave are considered in x-direction and y-direction. From the results, the responses and damage of the industrial structure are analyzed. The building has performed the soft story irregularity. The performance level for the acceptance criteria, according to ASCE41-13 and FEMA365 is life safety performance level. Therefore, the industrial factory building is needed to enhance the seismic capacity for damage prevention.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
