Prefab concrete building system during an earthquake

is thesis focuses on the behavior of the CD20 building system during an earthquake. In order to calculate the forces on the system, first a detailed model was constructed of the characteristic CD20 connection in Diana. This model was used to determine the stiffness of the connection. This stiffness was then transferred into a model of the whole building in SCIA engineer. Using a response spectrum analysis the behavior of the system could be determined. The system can withstand seismic loads up to a degree and with a minor adaptation it can withstand larger earthquakes as well.
