Abstract

This study is focused on system identification, finite element (FE) modeling, and FE model updating of the five-story masonry-infilled reinforced concrete building of the National Society of Earthquake Technology (NSET), located in Kathmandu, Nepal. The structure, shown in Fig. 31.1, was subjected to a series of ground motions during the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake and its aftershocks.
