EVALUATION OF NONLINEAR SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR OF RC TUNNEL-FORM BUILDINGS

tunnel -form building having a load carrying system composed of RC shear walls and slabs only have gained workdwide popularity due to observed seismic safety in most earthquakes and also constructional benefits the speed and econmy their contruction procedure provides have made them of the most favorite choices for mass residential buildign construction since having such a good experience of using this construction method researches have conducted little research particularlyabout these structures which are currently considered as safe , dependable systems that can be designed using code defined values and parameters for conventional shear walls.
