This paper investigates analytically the efficiency of an innovative Post-Tensioned Metal Strapping (PTMS) strengthening technique at improving the seismic behaviour of a [...]

Reinforced concrete (RC) coupled shear walls are commonly used in the design and construction of high rise buildings located in seismic zones to control drifts at upper s [...]

When we think of understanding the impact on the buildings of a city from an earthquake we imagine structural engineers assessing structures and the local area through me [...]
