Seismic evaluation and retrofit of reinforced concrete structures

Journal of Infrastructure Preservation and Resilience
The destructive earthquakes in the world clearly reveal the importance of the seismic behavior of the structures. The current study proposes and numerically investigates a systematic technique for the seismic assessment and retrofit of reinforced ...

Cyclic response of RC beam-column joints reinforced with plain bars: an experimental testing campaign [PDF]

, 2012
Existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings constructed until the mid-70’s, with plain reinforcing bars, are expected to behave poorly when subjected to earthquake actions.

Seismic design of reinforced concrete frames for minimum embodied CO2 emissions [PDF]

, 2018
Optimum structural design of reinforced concrete (RC) frames has been the focus of extensive research. Typically, previous studies set economic cost as the main design objective despite the fact that RC structures are major contributors of CO2 emissions.

Statistically Resolving Thickness‐Dependent Electrical Characteristics in Multilayer‐MoS2 Transistors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A large number of MoS2 flakes were screened to obtain high‐quality flakes based on optical intensities in R, G, and B channel images. The flakes were classified from Level 1 to 6 based on optical intensities in the R, G, and B channel images. Low‐quality flake exhibited wrinkled, folded, or overlapped features, while high‐quality displayed a neat ...

Analytical versus observational fragilities::the case of Pettino (L’Aquila) damage data database [PDF]

, 2014
A damage data database of 131 reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, collected after 2009 L’Aquila (Italy) earthquake, is employed for the evaluation of observational fragility curves.

Auxeticity‐by‐Assembly: Interlocking Modular Auxetic Metamaterials with Selectively Activatable AgNW–Graphene Oxide‐EGaIn Composite Interconnects for Scalable Freeform Photovoltaic Modules

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Auxeticity‑by‑Assembly converts freeform photovoltaics from cut‑defined layouts to assembly‑defined systems. Standardized interlocking units generate negative‑Poisson‑ratio, reconfigurable architectures, while hinge regions are wired by selectively activatable AgNW–GO@EGaIn composite interconnects and a folding‑enabled interconnector layer. A decimeter‑

Seismic Fragility Analysis of Buildings Based on Double-Parameter Damage Models considering Soil-Structure Interaction

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
Most conventional seismic fragility analyses of RC buildings usually ignore or greatly simplify the soil-structure interaction (SSI), and the maximum interstory drift ratio (MIDR) is often adopted to establish seismic fragility curves.

Numerical model to simulate the non-linear shear behaviour of RC elements [PDF]

, 2009
Seismic assessment of RC structures requires realistic and simple analytical models. In this paper is presented the model proposed and implemented in the program PORANL, to represent the RC buildings behaviour under severe earthquake loading.

Seismic strengthening of RC buildings

, 2014
A literature review on the seismic strengthening of reinforced concrete buildings, using steel bracings, infills and shear walls, is presented. Extensive experimental testing and numerical analyses of elements and structures have demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of all three measures for the increase of global strength and stiffness.
