Nonlinear Analysis of Degraded Buildings Applying Plastic-Damage Material Model

Abstract eng:
In mining regions a great hazard for masonry and concrete residential buildings are semiseismic earth tremors, which potential energy could achieved 1010 [J]. Only non-cracked buildings are numerically analysed and presented in literature. From practical engineering point of view more interesting problems are connected with behaviour of initially damaged objects. To analyse damaged and undamaged buildings a plastic-damage model called Barcelona Model (BM) of concrete and masonry is applied. Responses to different dynamical enforcements of both buildings models are presented.
