Results obtained from research conducted in the framework of an initiative introduced by the Hellenic Earthquake Planning and Protection Organization aiming to support re [...]

The successful validation of a numerical model is presented that can realistically approximate the shear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) T-section beams strengthened [...]

This paper presents summary results from a numerical study that examined the dynamic behaviour of a mock-up of the proposed retaining wall scheme aimed at supporting the [...]

Structures constructed with materials from earth have attracted the interest of modern building designers because of many advantages that this old methodology is offering [...]

There is a great need to develop innovative devices for the absorption of dynamicseismic loads. The present study focuses on the development of such a passive mitigation [...]

The present study is focusing on the experimental and numerical evaluation of the effectiveness of an antiseismic steel device. The developed device, mentioned as CAR1, b [...]

Shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (R/C) T-Beams can be achieved by open hoop FRP strips applied externally as transverse reinforcement. Unless these FRP strips a [...]

Steel-laminated elastomeric bearings are common structural components used in isolated ed stru structures. Elastomeric bearings are proven to be excellent isolators rs of [...]

The upgrading of the flexural capacity of reinforced concrete (R/C) vertical members with externally applied CFRP layers as means of tensile reinforcement is investigated [...]
