Assessment of seismic performance of reinforced concrete frame buildings with or without infill wall in Bhutan

Abstract

This study is the first comprehensive research work undertaken on the seismic performance of the masonry infilled reinforced concrete frame buildings in Bhutan. An extensive numerical investigation is carried out and probabilistically predicted the damages of the existing buildings in Bhutan under the expected earthquake ground motions. The findings from this study would go a long way in saving the lives of the people and their properties from the earthquakes in the future
