1. Some large cities in the Eastern and Western Part of Saudi
Arabia are located close to fault zones. As the population
increases and new areas are developed, the seismic risk to
human life and infrastructure increases.
2. Most old structures aredesigned without considering
seismic effect. i.e. designed for gravity loads.
3. Recent seismic activity in Saudi Arabia have led to concern
about the safety of the existing reinforced concrete
buildings.
4. This research is planned as a joint collaboration between
King Fahd university of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM),
Saudi Arabia and Istanbul Technical University (ITU),
Turkey.
