Structural elements in conventional frame buildings are connected using “wet joints” (i.e. cast in-situ joints) to emulate the behaviour of a monolithic reinforced co [...]

Modern structures are designed with a sacrificial design principle that values life safety at the expense of energy-absorbing structural damage. The significant long term [...]

A three dimensional, approximately half scale experimental test has been carried out to investigate the effect of precast-prestressed floor units on the seismic performan [...]

In this paper the efficacy of various ground motion intensity measures (IM’s) in the prediction of spatially distributed engineering demand parameters (EDP’s) within [...]
