Assessment of seismic drift of structural walls designed according to SANS 10160 - Part 4
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Reinforced concrete structures, designed according to proper capacity design guidelines, can deform
inelastically without loss of strength. Therefore, such structures need not be designed for full ...
Developing and testing a sprayable overlay of strain hardening cement-based composite for retrofitting of unreinforced load bearing masonry walls
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2016-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the Western Cape Province (South Africa) a large number of multi-storey buildings, built with
unreinforced load bearing masonry (URM) were constructed before seismic resistance became
a design standard ...
Assessment of the behaviour factor for the seismic design of reinforced concrete structural walls according to SANS 10160 : part 4
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2008-12)
The South African code for the design loading of building structures, namely SABS
0160 (1989), was revised with the requirements for seismic design prescribed in SANS
10160: Part 4: Seismic actions and general requirements ...
Rocking shear wall foundations in regions of moderate seismicity
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2009-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In regions of moderate seismicity it has been shown that a suitable structural system is
created when designing the shear wall with a plastic hinge zone at the lower part of the
wall, with the shear ...
Computational assessment of seismic resistance of RC framed buildings with masonry infill
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2005-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Reinforced concrete (RC) frames with unreinforced masonry infill form the structural system
of many buildings and this is also true for South Africa. It is common practice to consider the
masonry infill ...
Assessment of SHCC overlay retrofitting of unreinforced load bearing masonry for seismic resistance
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2018-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A significant stock of multi-story unreinforced load bearing masonry (ULM) structures is located in the Cape Town region (South Africa). The region is categorised as a light to moderate seismic region. ...
The seismic analysis of a typical South African unreinforced masonry structure
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2014-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa has some regions which are susceptible to moderate seismic activity. A peak ground
acceleration of between 0.1g and 0.15g can be expected in the southern parts of the Western
Cape. Unreinforced ...
The effect of seismic activity on reinforced concrete frame structures with infill masonry panels
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2014-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Certain regions within the Western Cape Province are at risk of a moderate intensity
earthquake. It is therefore crucial that infrastructure in these areas be
designed to resist its devastating effect. ...
Effect of seismic loads on water-retaining structures in areas of moderate seismicity
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Water-retaining structures are commonly used in South Africa for the storage of potable water and
waste water. However, a South African code pertaining to the design of concrete water-retaining
structures ...
Seismic performance of steel framed water tower structures
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2016-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: From the year 1620 until June, 2008, more than 27000 earthquakes of magnitude ranging from 0.2 to 6.3 have been recorded by the South African National Seismological Database (SANSD). The most affected ...
