Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have gained considerable attention in a broad range of engineering applications. In particular, iron-based SMAs (Fe-SMAs) have been recently developed and used as a cost-effective method for prestressed-strengthening of civil stru ...
The response of concrete gravity dams under seismic loads is a major concern of dam safety assessment in earthquake-prone areas. This study focuses on the seismic analysis of the tallest non-overflow monolith of Pine Flat Dam. The paper presents results of ...
Significant characteristics and main consequences of the 5.5 magnitude earthquake that struck Zagreb and its surroundings in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic are presented in the paper. Although, from the seismologic aspect, the earthquake was of moderat ...
This paper presents the results of a series of shake table tests carried out on a half-scale single-story unreinforced masonry building with asymmetric openings. First, the unretrofitted building is subjected to seven increasing steps of bidirectional seis ...
The need for new forms of energy, and in particular the need for renewable and clean ones, led to develompment of Enanched Geothermal Systems, where the well designed stimulation of a geothermal reservoir is the key parameter for the safe development of th ...
Passive energy dissipation devices are widely utilized in buildings to minimize structural and non-structural damage under seismic loading. Commonly used devices include, among others, yield, viscous and friction dampers. While the use of yield dampers, su ...
Assessing building damage after earthquakes requires a visual inspection of the damage, indicated by maps of the cracking pattern on walls, which could be standardized via automated algorithms. To quantitate this damage, fractal dimensions of these crack m ...
In order to effectively utilize results from quasi-static cyclic testing on structural components for the earthquake-induced collapse risk quantification of structures, the need exists to establish collapse-consistent loading protocols representing the asy ...
Reinforced concrete walls are commonly used to resist the lateral loading induced by wind and earthquake actions. While most walls include two vertical reinforcement layers, some regions of the world construct slender, non-rectangular concrete walls with a ...
Steel concentrically braced frames (CBFs) as lateral load resisting system are common in steel construction, for their high strength and architectural versatility. However, the brace connection details have to be well designed to ensure a ductility of the ...
