The primary focus of the study is to assess and classify the damage in the old Benghazi City. Specifically, it aims to evaluate buildings within a designated area, which is bordered by Omar Ibn Al-Aas Street to the south, Omar Al-Mukhtar Street to the north, Ben Issa Street to the east, and the extension of Gamal Abdel Nasser Street to the west. The main objective is to gather valuable insights and data that can support effective rehabilitation or reconstruction efforts. By comprehending the extent of the damage and categorizing it accordingly, the study seeks to provide essential information for decision-making processes and determine the most appropriate approach for restoration. The ultimate aim is to ensure the safe return of residents to the affected area. In addition to this, the restoration process aims to preserve and revitalize the city' s religious, historical, and distinctive features. This includes safeguarding religious structures, landmarks, and elements that contribute to the city' s unique identity. To achieve this, the study proposes separate rehabilitation schemes tailored for ordinary buildings and historic buildings.

“…Research indicates that this type of sandwich plate exhibits good load-bearing capacity and ductility with the presence of axial vertical load (Benayoune et al, 2007; Mohamad and Hassan, 2013; Rodrigo et al, 2013), eccentric vertical load (Benayoune et al, 2006; Mohamad and Mahdi Muhammad, 2011), bending (Benayoune et al, 2008; Isabella et al, 2015; Ramachandra et al, 2014; Smitha et al, 2014), shear force (Liu, 2013; Mowrtage and Karadogan, 2009; Wu and Dare, 2006), compressive-bending-shear composite load (Kabir, 2005) and seismic load (Janardhana et al, 2014; Magliulo et al, 2014; Retamales et al, 2013), making it suitable to be used as the main load-bearing component in multi-storey building structures. This conclusion provided an idea that the LPCP, a kind of seismic-resistant and energy-saving prefabricated sandwich wall panel, also could be applied in the multi-storey buildings to improve the seismic resistance in the rural area of China.…”

To improve both seismic performance and thermal insulation of low-rise housing in rural areas of China, this study proposes a load-bearing prefabricated composite wall panel structure that achieves appropriate seismic performance and energy efficiency using field-assembled load-bearing prefabricated composite wall panels. A 1:2 scale prototype built using load-bearing prefabricated composite wall panel is subjected to quasi-static testing so as to obtain damage characteristics, load-bearing capacity and load–displacement curves in response to a simulated earthquake. As a result, seismic performance indicators of load-bearing capacity, deformation and energy-dissipating characteristics, are assessed against the corresponding seismic design requirements for rural building structures of China. Experimental results indicate that the earthquake-resistant capacity of the prototype is 68% higher than the design value. The sample has a ductility factor of 4.7, which meets the seismic performance requirement mandating that the ductility factor of such concrete structures should exceed 3. The design can be further optimized to save the consumption of material. This shows that the load-bearing prefabricated composite wall panel structure developed here has decent load-bearing capacity, ductility and energy dissipation abilities, a combination of which is in line with the seismic design code. A new construction process proposed here based on factory prefabrication and field assembly leads to a considerable reduction of energy consumption.
