Low damage design is an alternative design philosophy to conventional capacity design. Its aim is to significantly reduce seismically induced damage to structural members [...]

Over the last few decades Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) has been developed to answer the growing number of societal needs, as well as advancing the bridge practic [...]

This paper presents tensile and low cycle fatigue experimental results of dissipaters used in post-tensioned rocking bridge piers with varying degree of corrosion. The ef [...]

Phononic crystals and metamaterials constitute a broad class of artificially engineered materials able to manipulate the propagation of acoustic/elastic waves at differen [...]

Accelerated bridge construction techniques have gained popularity in recent years since they offer many advantages compared to traditional in-situ methods. Such advantage [...]

As a result of the Precast Seismic Structural System (PRESS) program in the 1990s coordinated by the University of California, San Diego, the hybrid connection proved to [...]

Infill panels can strongly affect the global static and dynamic behavior of seismic resistant structural frames. In this paper, numerical investigations have been carried [...]

This paper presents alternative design solutions for one storey-precast industrial buildings, which allow to locate the dissipation capacity of the structure in the mecha [...]

This paper describes simplified design tools for precast concrete hybrid system/connections developed during the PRESSS (PREcast Seismic Structural Systems) project, wher [...]

A seismic design procedure and numerical sensitivity study of post-tensioned timber frames for multi-storey buildings is presented. The paper describes a displacement-bas [...]
