Over the last years, there has been increasing interest on experimental testing to support better understanding of structural behaviour under earthquake loading, with emp [...]

The study of the reinforced concrete columns’ response to horizontal cyclic loads is of full importance to understand how earthquakes affect the integrity of structures [...]

On April 25 a devastating 7.8 Mw shallow earthquake struck Nepal, causing over 9000 deaths and almost 23000 injuries. More than 400 aftershocks, with magnitude larger hig [...]

This work mainly aims at a comparative study between several numerical methods for non-linear cyclic behavior simulation of reinforced concrete members, namely the contin [...]

The main purpose of this paper is to present an experimental and numerical study concerning retrofit techniques on cyclic behavior of RC columns. The Laboratory for Earth [...]

The main purpose of this paper is to present an experimental and numerical study concerning the influence of the transverse reinforcement details on the cyclic behavior o [...]

The objective of this paper is to perform an experimental evaluation of seismic retrofit of reinforced concrete hollow piers with CFRP to prevent shear failure. The exper [...]
