Mechanism of rain-wind induced vibrations (RWIVs) of the stay cables of cable-stayed bridges has not been thoroughly clarified yet. Previous experimental studies mainly f [...]

Demand of composite fuel tank for the space vehicles keeps increasing globally in aerospace industry, and requires of a mean to predict its service life. Reported are an [...]

Two concrete-filled fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) tubular (CFFT) columns and two concrete-filled FRP-steel composite tubular (CFST) columns, as well as a control reinfor [...]

Structural control is emerging technology for hazard mitigation in civil engineering and has been comprehensively studied over the world. This paper introduces the resear [...]

Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) are widely used seismic response-controlling members with excellent energy dissipation capacity without buckling at design deformation. [...]

In this paper, the seismic behaviors of three cable-stayed bridges with different structural systems include Rigid System (RS), Floating System (FS) and Passive Energy Di [...]

This paper presents a numerical investigation into non-proportionally damped eccentric isolated structures. The non-proportional damping characteristics of the isolated s [...]

Probabilistic results drawn upon inadequate information, as usually happen, are suspicious. The uncertainties of spectrum displacement, damage state medians and loss rati [...]

This paper presents an experimental study to investigate the pounding effects of highway bridges under bi-directional earthquake excitations. A 1:20 scaled elevated bridg [...]
