This research aims to propose economical structural system which reduces seismic damage and needs no or little repair combing precast prestressed concrete (PCaPC) structu [...]

Structural walls are supported by foundation beams and piles that transfer earthquake-induced forces from the structural walls to the soil. In the current design procedur [...]

When major earthquakes hit urban areas in the world in 1990’s and 2000’s, many damaged reinforced concrete buildings did not function continuously during a long term [...]

This research aims to propose a simple seismic strengthening method which satisfies short construction period and low construction cost by using no rebar or bolt anchorag [...]

The load carrying capacity and energy dissipation behavior of columns in post yield range of deformation has a significant role to prevent a total collapse of reinforced [...]

In recent years, a new type of tall buildings is being constructed. They use reinforced concrete core-walls without supplemental moment resisting frames in the seismic fo [...]

After experiencing catastrophic earthquakes in major cities worldwide in 1990’s and 2000’s, the general public recognized that the economical loss due to the out-of-s [...]

When cantilever structural walls are subjected to severe earthquakes, rocking and sway motions are likely to take place at the base of the walls. Then the foundation stru [...]

This research aims to propose an economical seismic response controlling system of RC frames using corrugated steel shear panels (CSSP). This hybrid system was originally [...]
