6 Storey Mixed Use Building in Karachi
Summary
In order to learn how to analyze typical reinforced concrete buildings, understand their seismic behavior and to learn how guidelines such as ASCE 41, ATC-40 and FEMA could apply to buildings in Pakistan, the project team idealized a typical Karachi residential-commercial mixed use building as the pilot case study building. For simplicity, the team investigated the behavior of two-dimensional frame models with and without infill walls, and simplified certain structural details. A separate report describes a study of the three dimensional model of the building.
