Probabilistic assessment of seismic damage to an existing reinforced concrete structure using nonlinear static analysis and fragility curves
In view of the town's urbanized area, population, and building volume that comprise the existing buildings of M'sila, whose seismicity is moderate, it is believed that this city is not immune to a large earthquake like the one that struck the region of Algiers in 2003, causing extensive damage to buildings. This event highlights the vulnerability of existing Algerian structures to seismic risk. As a result, it is critical to be concerned about the situation. The goal of this study is to assess the damage to an existing reinforced concrete building dimensioned in accordance with RPA 99 Version 2003. The research is divided into two parts: The first portion of the study is centered on evaluating the structure's performance using non-linear static analysis. The second section uses the probabilistic approach (the HAZUS model) to assess the level of structural damage for a design earthquake.

flexion of sandwich beams by the finite element method
Multi-layered composite materials (Sandwiches) occupy a wide range of applications in many industrial fields such as aerospace, aviation, vehicle, shipbuilding, civil engineering and even for wind turbine impeller blade manufacturing for power generation. They emerged as a strong competitor with traditional materials as a consequence of the need for different combination of mechanical proprieties for many production facilities. Nevertheless, the common defects of multilayer composite materials during manufacturing and finishing processes are the main cause for their gradual damage. The progressive application of these materials has driven many researchers to study the mechanical proprieties and their behavior under various forms of damage. application of finite element methods method (FEM) to structural analysis has progressed steadily and has proven to be an effective tool over the last decades. Regarding this fact, in the present work, a numerical modeling of the sandwich beam with nine layers as face, sheets is carried out by simulating three points bending test. the CAD model of the Sandwich was performed by using the available commercial software ANSYS Composite PrepPost (ACP) 2022 and the FEM analysis was conducted by means of ANSYS static structural 2022 to determine the mechanical properties of a multilayer composite material subjected to flexion experiments.
