Building structures around the world have been designed using various framing methods. In Japan, the two-way momentresisting frame structures, which is designed as a 3D s [...]

This paper presents experimental results from a dynamic test on a full-scale, four-story precast concrete building that utilized unbonded post-tensioned (UPT) walls in on [...]

This paper presents a series of shaking table studies on the friction coefficients between steel and mortar, steel and steel, and wood and stone. The sliding behavior sug [...]

Recently, the possibility that a high-rise building generates the vibration with large displacement amplitude against the long-period earthquake ground motions by the oce [...]

We present the results of cyclic out-of-plane flexural tests of brick walls reinforced by inserting stainless pins. In seismic rehabilitation of historic URM buildings, p [...]

This research focuses on the nonstructural components in high-rise buildings subjected to large seismic responses. A serious of large-scale shaking table tests is conduct [...]

In the standard base plate connection in steel structures, namely the exposed column base, the shear force is resisted by the combination of anchor bolt shear and frictio [...]
