Effect Of Repeated Far Field Earthquake On The Ductility Demand Of Low-Rise Reinforced Concrete Buildings

Impacts of seismic activity on building should be considered seriously to provide a safe building. Earthquake phenomenon is not a single event but repeated phenomenon. However, current seismic design codes are ignored the effects of repeated earthquake. During the earthquake hits the ground, the fac...
