The Cold Mass Support (CMS) is a basic structural component of the feeder system of the EU DEMO tokamak. The function of this structural element is not only to provide support to the containment duct - wiring the cryogenic lines, electrical bus bars and in ...
Field observations and comprehensive life-cycle building assessment suggest that buildings designed according to today's seismic standards meet the life-safety requirement. However, they are prone to economic losses due to repairs in the aftermath of earth ...
With the advent of performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE), the need for reliable prediction of earthquake-induced collapse of structures is essential. Despite the significant progress that has been made towards this goal, there are several hurdles ...
The seismic assessment of historical unreinforced masonry buildings is a challenging task, because of their vulnerability to earthquakes and the uncertainties about the material properties. This work studies the case of the Kapela Sveti Nikola, a chapel in ...
The emergence of new high-performance materials and equipment, as well as advancements in numerical calculation techniques, have allowed base isolation to take its place among the strategies used by engineers in earthquake resistant design. Despite the eno ...
The current practice in capacity-designed steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) worldwide allows for limitedshear yielding in the column web panel zone. As such, inelastic deformations concentrate near the beam ends, thereby leading to flexural stre ...
Research conducted after the 1994 Northridge earthquake in the U.S. and the 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan led to the development of today's pre-qualified beam-to-column connections for capacity-designed steel moment resisting frames (MRFs). Welded moment c ...
The seismic assessment of existing unreinforced masonry buildings to determine their vulnerability is a critical issue for all earthquake-prone locations, and Switzerland is no exception. As a result, a thorough examination of the behaviour of masonry stru ...
The construction of dry-joint brick masonry that is subject to seismic loading can be modelled as a strategy problem wherein bricks must be laid to form a load resisting structure. To learn how to mount bricks while considering relevant engineering criteri ...
The construction industry's carbon footprint may be reduced by switching to the usage of natural stones as building materials. Construction of dry-joint stone masonry structures is difficult because of the irregular shapes and the nonuniform sizes of the s ...
