Development of adaptive seismic isolators for ultimate seismic protection of civil structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Base isolation is the most popular seismic protection technique for civil engineering structures. However, research has revealed that the traditional base isolation system due to its passive nature is vulnerable to two kinds of earthquakes, i.e. the near-

Implications upon using exterior post-tensioning tendons to retrofit a low strength concrete waffle slab [PDF]

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2019
A common problem when casting reinforced concrete structures is to have a lower concrete compressive strength as opposed to what has been assumed in design. The deflections that may occur under the serviceability conditions can exceed the maximum allowed.

Stop Criteria for Flexure for Proof Load Testing of Reinforced Concrete Structures

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2019
Existing bridges with large uncertainties can be assessed with a proof load test. In a proof load test, a load representative of the factored live load is applied to the bridge at the critical position. If the bridge can carry this load without distress,
