Abstract:When compared to traditional reinforced concrete constructions on level surfaces, buildings situated on hills with slopes require additional consideration, particularly when seismic loading is an important factor. In hilly slopes, the ground-level columns of structures have different heights due to the nature of the slope, which leads to a short column effect. This paper represents an experimental and analytical investigation of the behaviour of reinforced concrete frames and their response in sloped regions o… Show more
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.
