Building structures designed in accordance with older versions of building codes and standards are likely to exhibit unsatisfactory behaviour under seismic loads. Existin [...]

The study of seismic response of taller reinforced concrete shear walls with rocking foundations is carried out on the example of a 20-storey building. The building is fr [...]

Seismic behaviour of a heavy industrial building with highly irregular geometry, and mass and stiffness distribution is investigated to assess the effectiveness of curren [...]

A research program has been undertaken to better characterizing the contribution of higher modes of vibration on the bending moment and shear force demand on cantilevered [...]

An initial phase of the on-going research project investigating a global seismic response of eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) is presented. The project includes both an [...]

A direct comparison is made between shake table and real time hybrid simulation testing techniques for a two-storey steel building structure model. Only the first-storey [...]

This paper describes an initial phase of a comprehensive study investigating seismic behaviour of chevron-type eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) designed according to Ca [...]
