The effect of high-pass filtering on near-fault ground motion records is to completely eliminate the permanent ground displacement and significantly reduce the dynamic gr [...]

The effectiveness of damping devices for seismic protection of structures can be improved by installing the dampers in displacement amplification frames. This paper descr [...]

This paper presents an image analysis method that is capable of capturing crack distributions, displacement and strain fields in structural testing of reinforced concrete [...]

Fly ash has widely been considered as a potential alternative to cement due to its various advantages, e.g., environmentally-friendly, durable, low heat generation during [...]

This paper presents the latest development of collaborative experimental environment at Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE). A collaborative hybrid simu [...]

RC short columns are prone to pure shear failure due to insufficient transverse reinforcement, but there has been very limited research found in the literature on pure sh [...]

This paper presents a numerical procedure which is called the vector form intrinsic finite element (VFIFE, V-5) method. It is used to analyze the nonlinear behavior of st [...]

A blind analysis contest has been conducted in conjunction with the full-scale total collapse test of a four-story moment frame in September 2007 at the E-Defense shake-t [...]

Since 2000 an earthquake engineering design competition has been running in Taiwan for high school students and undergraduates and for the last three years this activity [...]
