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.

Seismic Upgrade Strategies for Existing RC School Structures
BuildingsThe seismic assessment of existing strategic and highly occupied reinforced concrete buildings, such as schools located in moderate-to-high seismic regions, is a critical task, especially because they have been constructed in periods lacking performance ...

Three‐parameter kinematic theory for shear assessment of reinforced concrete short columns
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This work presents a rational kinematics‐based model for assessing the shear capacity of rectangular reinforced concrete short columns. Due to their high stiffness and brittleness, short columns are particularly vulnerable to seismic forces, often exhibiting critical failures.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Several test methods have been proposed in the literature for measuring the level of residual prestress, most of them involving either semi‐ or fully destructive techniques for local measurements which could be highly sensitive to boundary conditions and execution details.

The use of continuum models for analyzing adobe structures [PDF]
, 2012 As it is known, the adobe structures have a high seismic vulnerability principally due to the low material strength and sometimes due to the inadequate structural configuration.

Swedish National Seismic Network
, 1904 The Swedish National Seismic Network (SNSN) started with the installation of a Wiechert seismograph in Uppsala in 1904. Since 1998 the SNSN is a part of the Department of Earth Sciences at Uppsala University.

Behavior of exterior beam‐column joint reinforced with shape memory alloy
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Beam‐column joints are critical regions in moment‐resisting frames and are particularly susceptible to severe stress concentrations and reinforcement congestion. Conventional design typically relies on dense transverse reinforcement to improve joint performance, resulting in construction difficulties and reinforcement congestion.
