The objective of this paper is to describe a novel experimental setup for testing the concrete-to-concrete interface behavior under cyclic loading. Within the suggested c [...]

This paper presents a design methodology for the seismic upgrading of rotationally sensitive existing R.C. buildings. The first part of the methodology deals with the eli [...]

This paper is a comprehensive state of the art background document on European seismic design provisions which was assembled in support of the development of design guide [...]

The majority of existing building stock in southern Europe, as well as in other parts of the world, comprises non-ductile multistory reinforced concrete (RC) buildings de [...]

In the present paper, an experimental study was carried out where the main objective was to investigate the favorable confinement characteristics of steel reinforced grou [...]

In this paper, application of a rapid, yet efficient methodology for the evaluation of failure modes of lightly reinforced substandard buildings is presented. The method [...]

In the study presented herein, an analytical model for predicting the response of members with old-type detailing, rehabilitated with reinforced concrete (R/C) jacketing [...]

Seismic evaluation of the existing building stock has become a recognized priority after damage and collapse of many reinforced concrete structures during recent earthqua [...]
