Many medium-rise and high-rise reinforced concrete buildings were damaged during the 2010 Maule Chile earthquake. For rectangular reinforced concrete walls that are witho [...]

Earthquakes are caused by a sudden release of energy from the movement between tectonic plates; besides geological faults and volcanism. As Peru is located in a high seis [...]

The authors have proposed a seismic retrofitting method by attaching outer CES frames consisting of only steel and fiber reinforced concrete to an existing RC building. T [...]

This paper outlines a static loading test of RC shear walls with openings carried out to investigate the influence of different number and layout of the openings. All spe [...]

In this study, three dimensional non-linear FEM analysis of beam-column joints for composite CES structural systems is conducted to verify applicability of the analysis m [...]

Concrete Encased Steel (CES) structural system consisting of only fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) and encased steels only have been proposed by the authors as a new compo [...]

Concrete Encased Steel (CES) structural system consisting of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) and encased steels only is a new composite structural system proposed by the [...]

This paper summarizes the results of static loading test carried out on a two-bay two-story concrete encased steel (CES) frame. The structural members of the CES frame co [...]
