Cyclic Behavior of Beam-Column Connections in Precast Structures
The performance of precast concrete structures is greatly influenced by the response of beam–to-column connections. In this study, a new moment resisting precast concrete beam-column connection detail with post-tensioning bolts, made out of high yield ...

RC column strengthening by lateral pre-tensioning of FRP [PDF]
This paper presents a unique strengthening technique for existing concrete columns that use expansive materials to apply lateral pre-tensioning. The technique increases the capacity and ductility of a column as well as achieving better utilisation of the

Pre‐Tensioned Belts Overhanging Elastic Rollers [PDF]
AbstractSubject of this paper are deformation mechanisms in pre‐tensioned elastic belts, which are wrapped around rollers carrying elastic layers that support the belts over part of their width. By means of analytical models and the finite element method the corresponding deformations of the belts are predicted.

Out‐of‐plane reinforcement of masonry walls using joint-embedded steel cables [PDF]
The out-of-plane mechanism (rocking) of walls often causes fatalities and collapses of historic buildings during earthquakes. This paper addresses the problem of assessing the seismic resistance of walls subjected to out-of-plane bending, before and ...

Application of a new system of self-tensioning to the design of large-span wood floor framings [PDF]
[Abstract]This study describes a self-tensioning system in which the gravitational loads acting on a horizontal structural element are automatically converted to a post-tensioning force on that component.

Dynamic one-sided out-of-plane behavior of unreinforced-masonry wall restrained by elasto-plastic tie-rods [PDF]
Past earthquakes have shown the high vulnerability of existing masonry buildings, particularly to out-of-plane local collapse mechanisms. Such mechanisms can be prevented if façades are restrained by tie rods improving the connections to perpendiculars ...
