Schools, Seismicity and Retrofitting
, 2021 The present book aims to present the work developed in the European research project PERSISTAH (Projetos de Escolas Resilientes aos SISmos no Território do Algarve e de Huelva, in Portuguese), which has been developed cooperatively by the University of Seville (Spain) and the University of the Algarve (Portugal).

Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.

Investigation of low‐disturbance seismic retrofit method for steel column bases using curved members
Japan Architectural ReviewSeismic retrofit has always been a very important subject in recent years. However, typical retrofit techniques such as load‐resisting systems, damper devices, and seismic isolation systems will cause considerable disturbances to the structural system ...

Buildings, 2020 Pilotis buildings have widely spread out in developed countries since World War II onwards. From the structural point of view, Pilotis RC frames exhibit substantial lack in ductility capacity and shear resistance localized at the first floor, since they ...

Kinematics‐based model for shear capacity assessment of unreinforced interior beam–column joints
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study presents a kinematics‐based model for assessing the shear strength of reinforced concrete interior beam–column joints without transverse reinforcement. The proposed framework is built on first principles—kinematics, equilibrium, and constitutive relations—and explicitly models discrete cracks by introducing kinematic parameters such

The challenges of GFRP RC beam design for limit states
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars are used ever more frequently in concrete construction due to their non‐corrosive and anti‐magnetic properties. Their research over the past decades focused on fundamental questions, such as the design aspects of beams under flexural loads.

Seismic analyses of a R/C building: study of a retrofitting solution [PDF]
, 2000 The preliminary experimental results from the tests on a 4-storey R/C frame structure are presented and discussed. The full-scale model is representative of the common practice of 40~50 years ago in most south European countries.
