Reinforcement slip in footing can make a significant contribution to the total lateral displacement of a reinforced concrete (RC) column, and thereby greatly influenced t [...]

The earthquake mechanism, seismic records, damage index and intensity of the Ning’er earthquake with Ms6.4 are introduced in this paper. Based on the field investigatio [...]

The main building, i.e. the kernel area of the Kunming new airport terminal is an import and complex structure, and it is located in the area with high seismic risks. To [...]

Due to the predominance in easy of attainment for dwelling function requirement, the reinforced concrete (RC) structures with specially-shaped columns (SSC) gain acceptan [...]

Two step design method for base isolation structure was put forward based on Code [Seismic Code, 2001]. Aimed on the pioneer process of project, simplified method was ado [...]

Design method based on the elastic stiffness for friction energy dissipation braced frame structure was studied in this paper. Firstly, original multi-degree-of-freedom ( [...]

The joint shear capacity of RC specially-shaped column (SSC) structures in high intensity seismic zone was studied in this paper, and two measurements for improving joint [...]
