Integrated seismic and energy retrofitting of existing buildings: A state-of-the-art review
Journal of Building Engineering, 2022 Collapses or serious damages of existing buildings during recent earthquakes have resulted in significant economic losses and loss of human lives. At the same time, buildings (in Europe) are responsible for about 40% of energy consumption and one third ...

Methodical Investigations on Seismic Retrofitting of Steel Plate Shear Wall Systems
BuildingsAn efficient retrofitting technique is expected to improve the seismic performance of a lateral force-resisting system without increasing the seismic demand on the structure, which can unfavorably lead to irreparable damages during a seismic event.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The preservation of reinforced concrete masterpieces from the 20th century poses a complex challenge. These structures often combine architectural, historical, and technological value, which standard engineering codes and conservation practices are not fully equipped to address. The Erasmus+ REcube project responded to this gap by promoting an

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract In practice, reinforced concrete (RC) wall‐like columns often have openings to facilitate building services, which creates stress concentrations around the opening, resulting in the weakening of their load‐carrying capacity. This study proposes innovative strengthening methods using near‐surface mounted (NSM) incorporating steel materials to ...
