In cold environment, the damage of freezing and thawing poses a great threat to the safety of concrete structures. In this study, six frost-damaged squat reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls were subjected to low cyclic reversal loading to investigate the effects of axial compression ratio, concrete strength and freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs) on the sei...

In order to improve the bearing characteristics of prestressed high-strength concrete (PHC) piles, this paper proposes the use of steel strands and steel bars instead of steel reinforcement for PHC piles or PHC piles wrapped in BFRP. Eight PHC piles were tested under low-cycle loading to study their seismic performance. Through the analysis of the ...

This paper focused on the seismic performance of buckling-restrained braced concrete frame. Two different systems including the single-level yielding buckling-restrained braced concrete frame (SYBRBCF) and the double-level yielding buckling-restrained braced concrete frame (DYBRBCF) were designed for comparison. Compared with the single-level yield...

Structural connection systems are a major challenge for precast construction systems. A dowel system requires designers to have sound knowledge of the fundamental requirements for seismic loads. In addition, it is important to consider unforeseen impact loads to prevent buildings from collapsing in the event of an earthquake. At present, the availa...

Reinforced concrete structural walls are commonly used as the primary lateral load resisting system in modern buildings constructed in high seismic regions. Most walls in high-rise buildings are C-shaped to accommodate elevators or other architectural features. C-shaped walls have complex loading and response including: (1) symmetric response in th...

Precast construction of structural buildings requires connection techniques that can shorten the process using only simple on-site activities while still guaranteeing adequate strength, energy dissipation, stiffness, and ductility. The construction methods should decrease the use of formwork and temporary bracing to save time and costs. In this stu...

El Código Hondureño de Construcción (CHOC) prescribe una metodología de diseño sísmico de marcos rígidos de acero que genera resultados inciertos y permite diseños de marcos rígidos ordinarios de acero (MRO) en zonas de alto peligro sísmico, comprometiendo su desempeño sísmico requerido. Se evalúa el desempeño sísmico de tres edificios de cinco niv...

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping of reinforced concrete (RC) columns is an effective way to improve their shear capacity and ductility and prevent buckling in their longitudinal reinforcements. Another strengthening method called the near surface mounted (NSM) reinforcement has been proven effective in improving the flexural strength of RC c...

A seismic performance assessment of historical Kütahya Kurşunlu Mosque in Turkey is presented before and after it has been retrofitted. Site investigations were carried out to identify structural conditions, in which severe cracks, especially on the dome, were mapped. Regarding damage conditions, the Mosque has undergone several interventions, incl...
