This research aims to propose a simple seismic strengthening method which satisfies short construction period and low construction cost by using no rebar or bolt anchorag [...]

Reinforced concrete wall-frame structures are widely used for buildings. When such structures are subjected to severe earthquakes, rocking and sway motions can be observe [...]

The load carrying capacity and energy dissipation behavior of columns in post yield range of deformation has a significant role to prevent a total collapse of reinforced [...]

This paper proposes a use of fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) with very low Young’s modulus to solve various issues of ordinary FRP’s. “Super Reinforced with Flexibi [...]

In recent years, a new type of tall buildings is being constructed. They use reinforced concrete core-walls without supplemental moment resisting frames in the seismic fo [...]

When cantilever structural walls are subjected to severe earthquakes, rocking and sway motions are likely to take place at the base of the walls. Then the foundation stru [...]

This research aims to propose an economical seismic response controlling system of RC frames using corrugated steel shear panels (CSSP). This hybrid system was originally [...]
