Seismic Capacity of R/C Buildings Retrofitted with a V-Bracing System Equipped with a Novel Laterally Layered Friction Damper

Applied Sciences, 2023
This study proposed a novel V-bracing system equipped with a laterally layered friction damper (LLFD), which can supplement the shortcomings of conventional vibration control systems and is applicable to existing reinforced concrete (R/C) buildings.

Empirical Model of Post‐Earthquake Restoration Time for Building Components Based on Data From the 2022 Fukushima‐ken Oki Earthquake in Japan

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Estimation of the time required for damaged building components to return to their pre‐earthquake conditions through repair is a critical element in assessing the seismic resilience of buildings, and it requires consideration of uncertainty.

Seismic retrofit of buildings

Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2005
Some important aspects of the subject of the repair to and the strengthening of buildings, before and after an earthquake, are investigated in this paper. It has to be noted that, far more than that of recent constructions, many older buildings are susceptible to earthquake damage.

Uneven Impacts of Seawall Heightening on Tsunami Risk Reduction under Rising Sea Levels: Probabilistic Scenarios from the Japan Trench

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disasters exacerbated by climate change have prompted adaptation measures, including seawall heightening, which is an effective approach to protecting coastal areas. However, the combined effect of rising sea levels and tsunamis can create a compound coastal hazard, in which long‐term sea level rise amplifies the impact of tsunamis.

Determining the Optimal FRP Mesh–ECC Retrofit Scheme for Corroded RC Structures: A Novel Multi-Dimensional Assessment Framework

Buildings
Reinforcement corrosion significantly reduces the load-bearing capacity, ductility, and energy dissipation of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, thereby increasing their seismic failure risk.
