Reinforced Concrete Beams with Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Bars—Experimental Study
Innovative reinforcement as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars has been proposed as alternative for the substitution of the traditional steel bars in reinforced concrete (RC) structures.

Assessment of FEMA356 nonlinear static procedure and modal pushover analysis for seismic evaluation of buildings [PDF]
Nonlinear static analysis as an essential part of performance based design is now widely used especially at design offices because of its simplicity and ability to predict seismic demands on inelastic response of buildings.

Seismic isolation system of two hinged arch suspended-deck bridge: a case study on Kalikuto bridge - Indonesia [PDF]
Seismic isolation systems are widely used in buildings, bridges, and industrial structures all over the world. The system is known for the efficiency to reduce earthquake demand and thus provide better seismic performance of the structures. In particular

Improved procedure for determining the ductility of buildings under seismic loads [PDF]
Displacement ductility is a parameter that characterizes the seismic response of structures. Moreover, displacement ductility can be used in order to determine whether a structural design, performed according to a specific seismic code or not, may ...

Centrifuge modeling of rocking-isolated inelastic RC bridge piers [PDF]
Experimental proof is provided of an unconventional seismic design concept, which is based on deliberately underdesigning shallow foundations to promote intense rocking oscillations and thereby to dramatically improve the seismic resilience of structures.

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

Abstract Earthquake zones cover a significant part of our earth, therefore, when planning and designing residential areas, factories, or other human establishments, professionals have to take into account the seismic hazard of that area. The current earthquake standard in Romania is based on the European code. This paper presents, beside
