This paper presents results of an experimental and analytical investigation conducted at the University of California, San Diego to improve the seismic design of column-e [...]

The performance of reinforced concrete structures depends on the bond strength and bond-slip behavior between the concrete and reinforcing steel. Although the bond behavi [...]

This paper presents the results from an extensive experimental and analytical program involving singe-bay, single-story, masonry-infilled, non-ductile Reinforced Concrete [...]

The use of brick veneer with wood-stud frame construction is common in residential houses in the US. This paper presents an analysis of the seismic performance of brick v [...]

The equivalent force control (EFC) method has been developed for real-time substructure testing (RSTing) with implicit integration to replace the numerical iterative proc [...]

This paper introduces a finite element scheme and a systematic calibration approach for masonry infilled RC frames. The modeling scheme combines the smeared crack approac [...]

This paper investigates the torsional load capacities of two reinforced concrete cap beams in the elevated guideway structures. One beam has a regular configuration and t [...]

This paper presents an experimental investigation of the out-of-plane seismic behavior of clay brick veneer over wood-stud walls. A series of shaking-table tests was perf [...]
