Studied in this paper, is "Solar Updraft Tower Power Plant" in marine environment from the aspect of structural form. Solar updraft tower is a thermal power plant combine [...]

Reinforced concrete buildings with masonry infill is common practice in many developing countries. However, many practicing engineers still assumes that the walls are non [...]

This paper reports on a large-scale shaking table test of a high-rise steel building conducted at the facility called E-Defense. The building specimen is a 1/3-scale 18-s [...]

The large scale shaking-table test of 18-story high-rise steel building was carried out at the E-Defense of Hyogo Earthquake Engineering Research Center. Through the stud [...]

In order to evaluate residual seismic capacity of reinforcement concrete (RC) structures damaged due to earthquakes quantitatively, kinds of evaluation methods have been [...]

In the Japanese seismic design criteria for beam-column joint of reinforced concrete frame structures with beam yielding, it is restricted that the shear force at the joi [...]

A shear wall is an effective earthquake resistant element in a reinforced concrete structure with its high stiffness and shear strength. Therefore, shear walls are widely [...]

Earthquake-induced collapse risk assessment of steel frame buildings requires the use of deterioration models that simulate instabilities that cause strength and stiffnes [...]

Wind turbine tower is the structure that rise the nacelle with rotate blade above the ground. Structural design optimization can help to optimize the total cost of wind t [...]

There are many traditional timber structures, such as temples, shrines and town houses in Japan. Their rational seismic evaluation is the most important in order to mitig [...]
