A study of the dynamic seismic performance index of building in Indonesia
Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, 2022 Recent earthquakes have exposed the vulnerability of buildings in Indonesia. An evaluation is needed to confirm the seismic performance of the structures. A seismic index is a method to determine building performance.

Seismic Behavior of Reinforced Masonry Structure: Relation between the Behavior Factor and the Ductility [PDF]
, 2022 The present work concerns a numerical study of the behavior of reinforced masonry (RM) structures under seismic loading. These structures are made of small hollow elements with reinforcements embedded in the horizontal joints.

Effect of glass-fiber rods on the ductile behaviour of reinforced concrete beams
Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2018 Ductility can be defined as the “ability of material to undergo large deformations without rupture before failure”. The use of Glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars instead of steel in reinforcing concrete structures is currently encouraged by many ...
