Earthquake resistant design. The "INERD" project

Objective

Part one this research project intends to define design rules and is presented in two parts. Part one consists in a strengthening measure for lower storeys of reinforced concrete structures, by which steel profiles encased in the columns provides ductility and a basic reliable shear and compression resistance. This obviates the "soft storey" mechanism, frequent failure mode of R.C. buildings. Part two consists in using connections of diagonals of frames with bracing's as dissipate zones. This design, applicable to braced frames, which by nature are stiff, can accommodate without problem a local increase of flexibility and results in significant cost reductions of the structure.
