Experimental Characterization of Wire Arc Additively Manufactured Rods and Intersecting Rods
ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 430-435, September 2026.Abstract Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) offers significant advantages for the fabrication of large‐scale steel components. In particular, the dot‐by‐dot WAAM deposition strategy enables the fabrication of rod‐like elements, suitable to realize lattice structures. Within this framework, a novel class of WAAM steel components is developed through

Seismic evaluation and retrofit of reinforced concrete structures
Journal of Infrastructure Preservation and ResilienceThe destructive earthquakes in the world clearly reveal the importance of the seismic behavior of the structures. The current study proposes and numerically investigates a systematic technique for the seismic assessment and retrofit of reinforced ...

Modular Steel Infill Panels as Energy‐Dissipating Fuses for Existing RC Frames
ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 162-167, September 2026.Abstract Fast and minimally intrusive retrofit strategies are essential to safeguard the public and enable rapid post‐event interventions. Recent large‐scale renovation programs have focused almost exclusively on architectural aesthetics, neglecting the structural integrity of existing frames, with public funding largely limited to non‐structural ...

The economic impact of seismic retrofit on heritage reinforced concrete buildings [PDF]
Urbanism. Arhitectura. Constructii, 2014 Groups of actors (architects, engineers, inhabitants, investors) put different priorities in interventions on heritage buildings. Seismic retrofit can be done at different levels, from avoiding collapse up to assuring immediate postearthquake ...

An innovative ductile steel connection for precast reinforced concrete frames
ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 717-723, September 2026.Abstract Moment‐resisting frames (MRFs) are vital systems for dissipating seismic energy through plastic hinge formation at beam ends. In conventional MRFs, beams must resist both gravity and seismic forces, making repair after earthquakes difficult, particularly in reinforced concrete (RC) structures.

FE parametric study of circular Reduced Web Section (RWS) connections subjected to cyclic loading
ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 1835-1840, September 2026.Abstract Circular reduced web section (RWS) openings provide a practical weakening strategy for retrofitting welded steel moment connections by relocating inelastic demand away from the beam‐to‐column interface. This paper defines a compact suite of performance metrics for cyclic assessment of fully restrained circular RWS subassemblies subjected to ...
