Experimental evaluation of the seismic performance of steel MRFs with compressed elastomer dampers using large-scale real-time hybrid simulation [PDF]

, 2011
Real-time hybrid simulation combines experimental testing and numerical simulation, and thus is a viable experimental technique for evaluating the effectiveness of supplemental damping devices for seismic hazard mitigation.

Seismic assessment and rehabilitation of a historical theatre based on a macro-element strategy [PDF]

, 2011
The structural and seismic assessment of the 19th-century Petruzzelli theater in Bari (Italy) is presented. The macro-elements strategy was adopted to dismantle the whole structure in parts.

Repair of Heavily Damaged RC Beams Failing in Shear Using U-Shaped Mortar Jackets

Buildings, 2019
The effectiveness of slightly reinforced thin U-shaped cementitious mortar jacketing for the repair of damaged shear-critical reinforced concrete beams is experimentally investigated. The test project includes two parts.

Centrifuge modeling of rocking-isolated inelastic RC bridge piers [PDF]

, 2014
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.

A deterministic algorithm for experimental design applied to tomographic and microseismic monitoring surveys [PDF]

, 2004
Most general experimental design algorithms are either: (i) stochastic and hence give different designs each time they are run with finite computing power, or (ii) deterministic but converge to results that depend on an initial or reference design ...

Comparison of methods to develop risk-targeted seismic design maps

Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2019
The seismic design of structures according to current codes is generally carried out using a uniform-hazard spectrum for a fixed return period, and by employing a deterministic approach that disregards many uncertainties, such as the contribution of ...

Performance‐based seismic design of tuned inerter dampers

Structural Control & Health Monitoring, 2019
This paper proposes a novel fully probabilistic framework for the performance‐based seismic design of structures and uses tuned inerter dampers (TID) installed in civil engineering structures subjected to seismic loads to illustrate its applicability ...

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

Applied 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 ...

Overview of the seismic input at dam sites in China

Earthquake Science, 2022
The current Chinese national standard, the Standard for Seismic Design of Hydraulic Structures (GB51247), released in 2018, is strictly based on China’s national conditions and dam engineering features.
