Pakistan is among the top five countries that have been severely impacted by extreme weather events. Its population, a majority of which poor, highly vulnerable to adverse effects climate change. This study aims examine correlation between multidimensional poverty and change vulnerability in rural areas Nowshera Charsadda districts Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Data were collected from 452 households through pre-tested questionnaire assessed vulnerability. The index, based on United Nations...
Engineering Cementitious Composites (ECC) have received wide attention in recent years due to their enhanced mechanical properties and ductility. These offer an opportunity design structures with significantly improved seismic performance having a low-damage ductile response. However, existing research studies primarily focus on the of ECC at material member scales, resulting knowledge gap regarding its response structural level. This study examines system-level buildings designed using...
After the catastrophic destruction of October 2005 Kashmir earthquake, first building code Pakistan was developed in 2007. The sole purpose (BCP) to incorporate advancements earthquake-resistant design fortify structures and ensure safety citizens against future seismic events. 2007, BCP not revised till 2021 include changes over time. However, recently updated version highlights that seismicity many regions is high, which truly reflected Therefore, due growing concerns about potential risks...
The strain hardening fiber reinforced concrete—generally known as the Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC)—has rapidly gained attention of researchers in recent years. However, most research on ECC is limited to material and member level, leaving a gap understanding its behavior at structural scale. Therefore, this study investigates global seismic response structures compares their performance with conventional concrete (RC) structures. For purpose, case long span building structure (an...
The exterior beam-column joint (BCJ) within reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures is acknowledged as a vulnerable component prone to seismic failure.This article proposes practical and economical strengthening method for BCJs using perforated steel haunch system.This designed mitigate damage in improve the performance of structure.Employing finite element modeling (FEM) techniques, study evaluates impact haunches on BCJs' behavior performance.The investigation involves creating nine...
Evacuation is considered an essential aspect of flood risk reduction. It important to identify the factors affecting decision-making process during evacuation. The purpose this study was examine that influence evacuation in flood-prone rural communities along Indus River Dera Ismail Khan. A total 465 household surveys were conducted high flood-risk areas river gather data on characteristics and perception. Pearson's correlation technique utilised determine relationship between perception...
Summary The standard response spectrum analysis (RSA) procedure prescribed in various design codes is commonly used by practicing engineers to determine the seismic demands for structural purpose. In this procedure, elastic force of all significant vibration modes are first combined and then reduced a modification factor ( R ) get inelastic demands. Recent studies, however, have shown that higher may experience much lower level nonlinearity, therefore, it not be appropriate reduce their...
Summary This study presents a simplified analysis procedure for the convenient estimation of nonlinear seismic demands high‐rise rocking wall structures. For this purpose, displacement modification approach used in static ASCE/SEI 41‐13 is adopted. However, current study, extended to every significant vibration mode structure whereas modifying coefficients different modes are calculated using typical flag‐shaped hysteresis behavior walls. The parameters selected represent walls with...
