Seismic Response of Existing Masonry‐Infilled RC Frame Structures Retrofitted with Steel Exoskeletons

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Considering the needs for reducing carbon emissions and except for extreme cases of very degraded existing structures, research on technologies allowing continued use or upgrading of older buildings has become a priority topic. Generally, research on upgrading of reinforced concrete frame structures certainly has a prominent role, because of ...

Time‐Variant Seismic Fragility of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Piers Considering Degradation Phenomena

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aging and environmental exposure progressively deteriorate the physical and mechanical properties of construction materials, thereby affecting the safety and functionality of existing infrastructure. Corrosion of steel rebars in reinforced concrete structures is widely acknowledged as the most common and detrimental degradation phenomenon, as ...

Influence of the Boundary Conditions on the Seismic Response of Existing Masonry Infills From In‐Plane and Dynamic Out‐of‐Plane Tests

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite increasing attention to the seismic performance of masonry infills, their out‐of‐plane dynamic behaviour remains insufficiently explored, particularly under pre‐existing in‐plane damage. This study presents a comprehensive experimental campaign designed to investigate the seismic behaviour of an existing weak masonry infill typology ...

An Intensity Measure‐Based Methodology for Ground Motion Orientation in Seismic Structural Assessment

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In current dynamic time history assessment protocols, ground motion recordings are mostly oriented along fixed sensor directions. Consequently, the orientation of the principal resultant of rupture energy, which may control the maximum structural demand, remains undefined, precluding consistent correlation with physically detrimental ...

Development and Validation of a Seismic Design Method for Anchored Retaining Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Retaining walls with multiple anchor levels are widely used as permanent excavation support systems for the construction of linear infrastructures. Yet, their seismic behaviour remains largely unexplored, and current design approaches rely on conventional procedures that do not adequately reflect the actual dynamic response of these systems ...
