This paper investigates analytically the efficiency of an innovative Post-Tensioned Metal Strapping (PTMS) strengthening technique at improving the seismic behaviour of a [...]

When we think of understanding the impact on the buildings of a city from an earthquake we imagine structural engineers assessing structures and the local area through me [...]

A complete seismic design of structures requires linear and nonlinear time-history analyses especially for special type buildings. Seismic design codes generally define g [...]
