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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

It is fast becoming common practice for civil engineering infrastructure and building structures to be designed to achieve a set of performance objectives. To do so, cons [...]
