Influence du type de contreventement sur la reponse sismique d’une structure en beton arme

الملخص EN

The behavior of a structure depends strongly on the behavior of each bracing element individually considered ; whether vertical or horizontal.

The behavior of these elements depends on their geometry, positions, dimensions and their rigidities and the quality of their implementation.

All these factors are determinants of the distribution of forces in the structure and the degree of vulnerability of the structure with respect to sollicitations.

The present study attempts to answer one of the questions related to bracing buildings.

It is to study the response of a building, particularly in terms of mass centers and stiffness, lateral displacement levels and distributions of seismic forces.

Two bracing systems were taken into account: frames and shear walls..
