This paper investigates the effect of the single and multiple aerodynamic modification mechanisms on the dynamic behaviour of the principal building when it is interfered [...]

Many research works on the steel plate-concrete structures have been conducted recently. The steel plate concrete structures as composite structures can be effectively us [...]

Exterior/partition flat walls monolithically constructed in concrete buildings were severely damaged by the 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tohoku, Japan. Damage [...]

Hybrid simulation is an efficient testing method for investigating the seismic response of a structure. Unlike slow hybrid simulation, real-time hybrid simulation can eff [...]

In the 1994 Northridge earthquake, connection damage initiated from the beam bottom flange was prevalent. The presence of a concrete slab and resulting composite action w [...]

The purpose of this study was to investigate the inelastic behavior of precast concrete segmental bridge piers with shear resistance connecting structure. The goal of add [...]

A 6-story full-scale reinforced concrete building subjected to severe earthquake loading simulated by E-Defense at Kobe, Japan experienced the collapse process which was [...]

The construction stage of the KOCED Collaboratory Program is in its final year. Five out of six large scale state-of-the-art testing facilities are almost completed and w [...]

E-Defense, the world largest three-dimensional earthquake simulator, has been operated and available for shake table tests since 2005. A five-year national project on sei [...]
