The Purpose Of This Research Study Was To Evaluate The Seismic Performance Of A High-rise G+20 RCC Structure, With An Emphasis On The Effectiveness Of Structural Upgrades Using Outrigger And Belt Truss Systems. The Outrigger And Belt Truss Model Systems, On The Other Hand, Demonstrated A Significant Decrease In Displacement And Drift. The Combined Outrigger And Belt Truss Model Fared The Best, Reducing Top-storey Displacement By Roughly 50% And Significantly Improving Base Shear Resistance. The Storey Drift Results Revealed That Inter-storey Deformation Was Most Apparent In The Conventional Model's Mid-levels, Possibly Causing Severe Levels Of Structural Instability And Damage To Non-structural Features Such As Walls And Facades. The Incorporation Of Structural Systems Brought Drift Values Well Below Allowed Limits, Resulting In Increased Structural Safety And Performance During Seismic Events. The Base Shear Analysis Revealed A Considerable Improvement In The Building's Ability To Bear Horizontal Forces Using The Upgraded Models. The Combined System Model Has The Greatest Base Shear Values, Emphasising The Importance Of Extra Lateral Stiffness In High-rise Buildings. This Shows That Buildings Using Outrigger And Belt Truss Systems May Better Absorb And Disperse Energy Under Dynamic Loads, Such As Earthquakes And Wind Forces, While Maintaining Structural Integrity. The Study Of Natural Time Periods And Frequency Responses Demonstrated The Structure's Better Dynamic Behaviour. The Natural Time Period Was Reduced With The Addition Of Structural Systems, Showing Increased Stiffness And Quicker Structural Reaction. Overall, This Study Demonstrates The Importance Of Including Outrigger And Belt Truss Systems Into The Design Of High-rise Structures In Order To Enhance Their Seismic Performance. These Systems Not Only Decrease Lateral Displacements And Inter-storey Drift, But Also Improve Load Redistribution, Resulting In Increased Stability And Less Damage From Seismic Loads. Findings Provide A Good Platform For Formulating Design Standards For Tall Buildings In Seismically Prone Locations.

Superconductors Are Characterized By Zero Resistance And Meissner Effect. At Below Critical Temperature (Tc), These Materials Exhibit Diamagnetic Properties. On The Other Hand, Materials In Nano-crystal Size Have Specific Properties That Differ From Bulk State. Nanomaterials Are Characterized By Surface Effect Which Influences Physical And Chemical Properties Of The Materials. Combining These Two Mayor Fields, It Can Be Obtained Superconductors In Nano-crystal Size (below 200 Nm) Using Simple Method (called As Nano-superconductors). Generally, Ceramic-oxides In Nano-crystal Size, Even In Cuprate-superconductors, May Have Ferromagnetic Behavior At Room Temperature. In This Research, Bi And Bi,Pb- Based Nano-superconductors Synthesized By Wet Mixing Technique Have Tc 80 K For 2212 (Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8- And Bi1,6Pb0,4Sr2CaCu2O8-) Phases. They Also Exhibit Ferromagnetism Effect And Hysteresis Curve Although At Well Above Tc. This Is Unusual Phenomenon Because Superconductor Materials Are Generally Diamagnetic At Below Tc And Paramagnetic At Normal State. This Phenomenon Is Possibly Due To Magnetic Moments Which May Possibly Come From Oxygen Vacancies Of The Nanoparticles Surface.
