This paper investigates analytically the efficiency of an innovative Post-Tensioned Metal Strapping (PTMS) strengthening technique at improving the seismic behaviour of a [...]

Seismic vulnerability of schools buildings have been recognized as one critical aspect in recent earthquakes. The situation is more dramatic in developing countries in wh [...]

Reinforced concrete (RC) coupled shear walls are commonly used in the design and construction of high rise buildings located in seismic zones to control drifts at upper s [...]

When we think of understanding the impact on the buildings of a city from an earthquake we imagine structural engineers assessing structures and the local area through me [...]

The seismic behavior of a heavy industrial boiler system built in Chile is studied considering pushover analysis method and time-history analysis. The aim is to identify [...]

The coastal city of Ensenada Mexico (300 km south of Los Angeles, California), lies in an area close to the San Andres fault system, hence, seismic risk studies aimed to [...]
