Results obtained from research conducted in the framework of an initiative introduced by the Hellenic Earthquake Planning and Protection Organization aiming to support re [...]

This paper presents the loading arrangements that were conceived and constructed in order to tests in prototype scale the performance of the suspension devices (Column He [...]

The successful validation of a numerical model is presented that can realistically approximate the shear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) T-section beams strengthened [...]

This paper presents summary results from a numerical study that examined the dynamic behaviour of a mock-up of the proposed retaining wall scheme aimed at supporting the [...]

Structures constructed with materials from earth have attracted the interest of modern building designers because of many advantages that this old methodology is offering [...]

There is a great need to develop innovative devices for the absorption of dynamicseismic loads. The present study focuses on the development of such a passive mitigation [...]

The suspended roof of the Stavros Niarchos Cultural Center (SNCC) at AthensGreece is studied. This roof with dimensions approximately 100m x 100m is suspended by 30 suspe [...]

Shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (R/C) T-Beams can be achieved by open hoop FRP strips applied externally as transverse reinforcement. Unless these FRP strips a [...]

The in-plane behaviour of one-bay single-story reinforced concrete (R/C) frames, retrofitted by jacketing of their columns together with a cast-in-place encased R/C panel [...]

The present study is focusing on the experimental and numerical evaluation of the effectiveness of an antiseismic steel device. The developed device, mentioned as CAR1, b [...]
