To avoid the excessive input of earthquake loads through large piles it is useful to control the moment of piles by the head joints connecting to the bases. An experiment [...]

Recently, the possibility that a high-rise building generates the vibration with large displacement amplitude against the long-period earthquake ground motions by the oce [...]

It is noted that the fragility of urban areas has accelerated and they are becoming more complex with rapid development of social systems. In order to solve such complex [...]

This paper elaborates the mechanisms for enhancing the ductility of the interface between substrate concrete and patched repair materials. The authors investigated four t [...]
