The current performance-based seismic design philosophy of reinforced concrete (RC) structures relies on the proper detailing of plastic hinge regions where most of the i [...]

In the UK, most of the existing stock of concrete intake towers in reservoirs has been constructed for gravity loading only, with limited amounts of steel reinforcement p [...]

Multiple support excitation is caused when different ground inputs occur along the length of a bridge. Much research has been carried out on modeling long span bridges wi [...]

The seismic behaviour of masonry structures strengthened with fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials has received very little attention experimentally and theoretically [...]

Since 2000 an earthquake engineering design competition has been running in Taiwan for high school students and undergraduates and for the last three years this activity [...]

This paper describes the development of the UK-NEES network incorporating the university laboratories at Bristol, Oxford and Cambridge in the UK; and in particular focuse [...]
