An attempt to find out the most probable displacement demands of precast cantilever columns has been presented here. The purpose of the findings presented is to set up a [...]

The latest developments in the construction technologies and the materials facilitated the practicing engineers to go higher and energy-efficient buildings. However, the [...]

The energy released by an earthquake transforms into other forms of energies through the structural system i.e. recoverable and irrecoverable energies. The supplemental d [...]

High voltage bushing structures are most vulnerable components of electrical substations during strong seismic excitation. A new low-cost seismic isolation device for hig [...]

Earthquakes impart significant amount of energy into the structures. The input energy is dissipated by the plastic deformation of structural members in the conventional d [...]

This study aims to define the Seismic Energy that is imparted into the structure. When compared the energy-based spectra with the acceleration response spectra that are u [...]

The theoretical and experimental research performed recently in the Structural and Earthquake Engineering Laboratory of Istanbul Technical University on prefabricated squ [...]

Single-storey precast frames with pinned beam-column connections are widely used in Turkey. This type of precast structures had suffered extensive damages during the rece [...]

Different seismic hazard maps, showing probable peak ground accelerations and velocities or intensities in terms of magnitudes and damage indices, which were developed fo [...]

In this study, wet-mixed sprayed concrete is used to form infill walls in low ductile reinforced concrete (RC) frames. Nearly ½ scale one bay-one story RC frames were te [...]
