The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the cyclic behavior of RC hollow piers, with and without with CFRP retrofit, by comparison of experimental tests results w [...]

The seismic damages of reinforced concrete bridges in recent events show that many of them have an inadequate behavior and safety. Therefore, is important to accurately d [...]

The masonry construction is one of oldest construction techniques and more used in all over the world. However, the structural response of masonry structures is complex a [...]

This work mainly aims at a comparative study between several numerical methods for non-linear cyclic behavior simulation of reinforced concrete members, namely the contin [...]

The present study is an application of the EC8-3 deterministic procedure for safety assessment. Based on the application of the EC8-3 deterministic procedure, the study a [...]

The present study addresses the evaluation of the recommended values of the Confidence Factors (CFs) proposed in the general document of Eurocode 8, Part 3. The study ass [...]

The main purpose of this paper is to present an experimental and numerical study concerning retrofit techniques on cyclic behavior of RC columns. The Laboratory for Earth [...]

The seismic vulnerability of an existing building representative of modern architecture style is presented herein. To improve its seismic response, a retrofitting solutio [...]

Non-linear static procedures, such as pushover-based ones, have been continuously refined and improved along the past few years as a complement or even as an alternative [...]

The main purpose of this paper is to present an experimental and numerical study concerning the influence of the transverse reinforcement details on the cyclic behavior o [...]
