ABSTRACT Post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber (PT‐CLT) rocking walls offer a compelling seismic system combining self‐centering behavior with energy dissipation. However, progress in their performance assessment and design has been limited by the lack of a comprehensive parametric modeling tool, as exists for steel or reinforced concrete systems. This

ABSTRACT This study explores the seismic performance of a five‐story prototype building using different configurations of a dual lateral force‐resisting system (LFRS) combining post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber rocking walls (PT‐CLT‐RW) with conventional wood light‐frame shear walls (LiFS).

ABSTRACT Five lap‐spliced circular hoop (CH) concrete bridge columns, designed in accordance with the current Japanese bridge design code and Taiwan bridge design practice, were tested in this study to investigate the effects of longitudinal reinforcement and aspect ratios on deteriorated hysteresis behavior.

ABSTRACT Higher‐mode effects can significantly amplify seismic demands in high‐rise buildings, causing unintended damage over the building height. Engineered mechanisms are introduced at the base of these structures to mitigate higher‐mode effects. Existing continuum formulations for base‐flexible buildings commonly idealize the superstructure as a ...

ABSTRACT This study addresses the influence of fibre architecture on the mechanical properties of vacuum‐infused glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites at elevated temperatures (ET). Laminates with three different fibre configurations—unidirectional (UD), bidirectional 0°/90° cross‐ply (BD), and ±45° off‐axis angle‐ply (OA) – were tested in ...

Abstract Intracardiac electrophysiological recording plays an essential role in identifying abnormal cardiac electrical activity and guiding arrhythmia diagnosis and treatment planning. A key challenge for minimally invasive intracardiac electrodes is to combine reliable transvascular delivery with stable and compliant endocardial contact.
