Numerical Investigation of Behavior of RC Columns Strengtheneg with RC Jacket [PDF]
Strengthening of structural elements which are insufficient in terms of earthquake performance is very important for the safety of existing structures. Nowadays, one of the most commonly used methods is strengthening such members with RC jacketing. Several experimental studies have been conducted in the literature to investigate behavior of structural ...

Nonlinear modeling of the cyclic response of RC columns [PDF]
Cyclic load reversals (like those induced by earthquakes) result in accelerated bond degradation, leading to significant bar slippage. The bond-slip mechanism is reported to be one of the most common causes of damage and even collapse of existing RC ...

Seismic amelioration of existing reinforced concrete buildings. Strategy to optimize the amount of reinforcement for joints [PDF]
Most of the existing Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings in Italy were built according to obsolete regulations that were not enough aware of issues related to seismic design so that they need to be upgraded by pursuing either amelioration or full seismic ...

A Q‐Learning Algorithm to Solve the Two‐Player Zero‐Sum Game Problem for Nonlinear Systems
A Q‐learning algorithm to solve the two‐player zero‐sum game problem for nonlinear systems. ABSTRACT This paper deals with the two‐player zero‐sum game problem, which is a bounded L2$$ {L}_2 $$‐gain robust control problem. Finding an analytical solution to the complex Hamilton‐Jacobi‐Issacs (HJI) equation is a challenging task.
