Formulation of risk‐targeted seismic action for the force‐based seismic design of structures

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics, 2019
A risk‐targeted design spectral acceleration and the corresponding seismic design action for the force‐based design of structures is introduced by means of two formulations.

Application of X-Shaped CFRP Ropes for Structural Upgrading of Reinforced Concrete Beam–Column Joints under Cyclic Loading–Experimental Study

open access: yesFibers, 2021
The effectiveness of externally applied fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) ropes made of carbon fibers in X-shape formation and in both sides of the joint area of reinforced concrete (RC) beam–column connections is experimentally investigated. Six full-scale

Efficacy and Damage Diagnosis of Reinforced Concrete Columns and Joints Strengthened with FRP Ropes Using Piezoelectric Transducers

open access: yesSensors, 2022
Recent research has indicated that the implantation of a network of piezoelectric transducer patches in element regions of potential damage development, such as the beam–column joint (BCJ) area, substantially increases the efficacy and accuracy of the ...

Numerical Analysis Exterior RC Beam-Column Joints with CFRP Bars as Beam’s Tensional Reinforcement under Cyclic Reversal Deformations

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
In this paper the cyclic lateral response of reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column joints with composite carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) bars as a longitudinal reinforcement in the beam is simulated with finite element (FE) modeling using software ...

Seismic Design of Offshore Wind Turbines: Good, Bad and Unknowns

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
Large scale offshore wind farms are relatively new infrastructures and are being deployed in regions prone to earthquakes. Offshore wind farms comprise of both offshore wind turbines (OWTs) and balance of plants (BOP) facilities, such as inter-array and ...

Study of genetic variation and its association with tensile strength among bamboo species through whole genome resequencing

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) is a versatile plant species that is widely used as a construction material by many low-income countries due to the lack of major construction materials such as steel and reinforced concrete.
