    Review and analysis of some of the devastation caused by the earthquake

    Case Study of Bam Earthquake 2003

    Identifying the causes of failure in the components is one of the most important information for seismic rehabilitation.
    In this file, it has been attempted to present the images of a real earthquake of the crash and its type and causes.
      I invite you to read the attachment.

    Damage occurred in buildings with steel structure

    Let us combine knowledge with experience. In this case study, one of the most common failure is due to welding. What type of weld is used?

    Dear Reza,

    Complete joint penetration and filled weld often used for welding structural components. The other two type; diffusion and spot welds are for typical cases that needs to be used sparingly.
