Rotation damages are common in earthquakes, which usually occur when some form of plan irregularities exist. In 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, an interesting rotation phenomen [...]

In this study, buckling restrained braces (BRBs) are implemented as a potential retrofit strategy to mitigate damage in skewed bridges. For this purpose, a three-span rei [...]

A next-generation, combined resonant column and torsional shear (RCTS) system has been developed to measure the cyclic and dynamic properties of all types of soils with h [...]

The outer curtain wall system of Shanghai Tower adopts flexible zonal hanging glass curtain wall (CW) system, which is vertically hung from the suspension beam of the mec [...]

Response spectrum relies on the intensity and the frequencies of ground motions to determine the seismic force in structural design. However, the absence of time makes it [...]
