Resilient and Sustainable Structures through EMI-Based SHM Evaluation of an Innovative C-FRP Rope Strengthening Technique

open access: yesApplied Mechanics
Reinforced Concrete (RC) members in existing RC structures are susceptible to shear-critical due to their under-reinforced design. Thus, implementing a retrofitting technique is essential to eliminate the casualties that could arise from sudden and ...

Seismic Design Isues [PDF]

open access: yesMűszaki Tudományos Közlemények, 2019
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

Advanced Structural Monitoring Technologies in Assessing the Performance of Retrofitted Reinforced Concrete Elements

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Climate change induces extreme effects with lower-than-designed restoration periods, imposing the necessity of strengthening the structural integrity of existing and mainly older RC structures, which are often demonstrated to be under-reinforced in terms

Risk-Based Multiobjective Optimal Seismic Design for RC Piers Using the Response Surface Method and NSGA-II

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2021
In this paper, a risk-based multiobjective optimal seismic design method for reinforced concrete (RC) piers is proposed. This method is used to determine the size and reinforcement ratios of piers to minimize the seismic risk of bridge systems and the ...
