Multi-Objective Optimization of FRP Jackets for Improving the Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Frames [PDF]
In this study, a multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization procedure is proposed for the seismic retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete (RC) building frames via Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) jackets.

Seismic response of current RC buildings in Kathmandu Valley [PDF]
RC buildings constitute the prevailing type of construction in earthquake-prone region like Kathmandu Valley. Most of these building constructions were based on conventional methods. In this context, the present paper studied the seismic behaviour of existing RC buildings in Kathmandu Valley.

Decorin promotes robust axon growth on inhibitory CSPGs and myelin via a direct effect on neurons
Inhibitory chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) and myelin-associated molecules are major impediments to axon regeneration within the adult central nervous system (CNS).

In this study, a new technique for seismic retrofitting via the attachment of an “external steel reinforced concrete frame” (ESRCF) system was developed to strengthen medium-to-low-rise reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. Two methods (bolting and welding)

Would RC wide-beam buildings in Spain have survived Lorca earthquake (11-05-2011)? [PDF]
Lorca earthquake (11-05-2011) is most destructive event recorded in Spain, causing nine fatalities and other severe consequences. Its important intensity was rather unexpected, and serious concern arose regarding risk of building stock in Spain.

Seismic damage and fragility of RC buildings. [PDF]
Seismic actions cannot be predicted in time, location or intensity. Serious earthquake actions can cause the occurrence of different levels of damage of the elements and the structure as a whole, which can even lead to their collapse. The methods for evaluation of seismic performance of structures are discussed in this paper and the focus of the paper ...

The Educational Green: Researching Ways of Combining Professions [PDF]
The Educational Green was an innovative 3rd year design studio held in 2007 in the faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning at the University of Melbourne. The studio both informed and was informed by the authors’ involvement in a Research Council (

The stiffness of masonry infill walls is commonly neglected in design practice of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures. In fact, the stiffness of masonry infill wall may significantly influence seismic performance and dynamic behavior of RC buildings. In
