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.

Efficacy of PZT Sensors Network Different Configurations in Damage Detection of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Prisms under Repeated Loading

Sensors
Real-time structural health monitoring (SHM) and accurate diagnosis of imminent damage are critical to ensure the structural safety of conventional reinforced concrete (RC) and fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) structures.

Seismic soil-structure interaction for pile supported systems [PDF]

, 2009
Civil engineering structures involve structural elements with direct contact with ground. When the external actions, such as earthquakes, act on these systems, neither the structural displacements nor the ground displacements, are independent of each ...

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.

A Novel Approach to Monitoring the Performance of Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Retrofitting in Reinforced Concrete Beam–Column Joints

Applied Sciences
Due to insufficient transverse reinforcement, the retrofitting of beam–column joints (BCJs) in existing reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures is commonly required to alter their brittle behavior.

Seismic soil pile interaction:experimental evidence [PDF]

, 2009
The comprehension of the real behaviour of pile foundations under earthquake loading is very important, since it can significantly affect the performance of the superstructure.

Optimizing Building Rehabilitation through Nondestructive Evaluation of Fire-Damaged Steel-Fiber-Reinforced Concrete

Sensors
Fire incidents pose significant threats to the structural integrity of reinforced concrete buildings, often necessitating comprehensive rehabilitation to restore safety and functionality. Effective rehabilitation of fire-damaged structures relies heavily

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.
