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

Proceedings of the International Conference of Contemporary Affairs in Architecture and Urbanism-ICCAUACivil engineers face a significant challenge in assessing seismic vulnerability due to the complex of soil-pile-structure interaction system. This research aims to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of individual piers under various seismic ground ...

Effective axial strength of laterally strengthened RC pier heads with post‐tensioning method
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates the structural performance enhancement of reinforced concrete (RC) pier heads laterally strengthened with unbonded post‐tensioning (PT) to accommodate increased design loads following a deck replacement of an existing railway bridge.

Seismic vulnerability of Yazd [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2016 Occurring earthquake in Iran plateau is common due to that Iran is on seismic belt and having a large number of faults. Studying of Yazd’s vulnerability in Iranian’s seismic code earthquake is the goal of this research.

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.

Seismic vulnerability analysis of steel buildings in Bogotá, Colombia
, 2012 A number of mid-height steel buildings have been erected recently in Bogotá. Their seismic risk might be high, given the new microzonation of Bogotá and the lack of previous studies; remarkably, the response reduction factors were commonly obtained from general recommendations.

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.
