| Summary: | This study focuses on the influential factors that enhance the reliability and versatility of
structure throughout the life span. The factors are considered on the basis of the need for assessment
of state of –art- structural analysis and design. Through investigation the researcher found that there
are two most influential factors are repeatedly influencing the life of structure. The two factors are
structural elements and loading patterns. Structural elements are identified on the basis of structure
height, span, bays, percentage of shear wall, ratio of structural and non- structural panels to total
number of panels and type of frame. The loading pattern investigated on the serviceability limit of
structural components. |
