Experimental Evaluation of Prototype Seismic Retrofits for Precast Concrete Hollow‐Core Floors
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.Existing hollow‐core floors are vulnerable to nonductile failure and potential collapse under earthquake loading. This study presents the development and experimental evaluation of novel comprehensive seismic retrofits for hollow‐core floors. These retrofits include a strongback‐type retrofit that provides an alternative gravity load path through steel

Plastic Behavior and Design Methodology for Curved Members in Seismic Applications
JAPAN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW, Volume 9, Issue 1, January–December 2026.This study investigated the plastic behavior of curved members through static analysis and extensive parametric studies, focusing on initial elastic stiffness, plastic strength, slenderness effects, and section compactness. Estimation equations were developed and validated, contributing to the development of a connection design methodology that ...

The role of overstrength in welded joints for rebar substitution in damaged RC columns
, 2023 Rehabilitating corroded or seismically damaged reinforced concrete (RC) bridge columns often involves replacing the longitudinal steel rebar. Welded joints offer a practical and efficient in-situ solution for connecting new rebar segments to existing ...

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Performance‐based design (PBD) is widely seen as a superior alternative to force‐based design (FBD), yet no standard procedure exists for its implementation. In contrast, performance‐based plastic design (PBPD) has emerged as a theoretically robust and user‐friendly design method.

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This study addresses a critical gap in seismic design codes by evaluating the nonlinear performance of multi‐tiered eccentrically braced frames (MT‐EBFs) and offering practical recommendations for future provisions. MT‐EBFs, an advanced variation of conventional EBFs, incorporate multiple tiers of links and braces within a single story, making them ...

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The development of efficient and scalable catalysts for polyether amine (PEA) synthesis via reductive amination remains an enduring industrial challenge. In this study, bimetallic NiCu alloys supported on amorphous alumina were rationally designed for the amination of low‐molecular‐weight polyether (PPG‐230).
