Extensive investigations on seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete columns have been
undertaken in recent years and many retrofitting methods have been developed and …

A procedure for evaluating the seismic performance and retrofit of existing low-to-midrise
reinforced concrete (RC) buildings is proposed. The procedure is derived from the well …

UHPFRC is a material that offers several openings within the building industry. One of those
applications is the seismic retrofitting of existing non-ductile concrete structures. This paper …

Performance based earthquake Engineering requires robust analytical tools for obtaining
the structural response, damage assessment, as well as for performing reliability analysis …

The use of a new type of reinforced concrete (RC) jacket for RC exterior beam–column
connections damaged by seismic excitations is addressed and experimentally investigated …

Fragility curves are constructed to assess the seismic vulnerability of a hypothetical two-story
reinforced concrete frame building designed only for gravity loads. Fragility curves are also …

Reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures customarily have been designed in regions of
low-to-moderate seismicity with little or no consideration of their seismic resistance. The …

Lack of joint confinement for the majority of pre-1970 reinforced concrete (RC) frame
construction has resulted in weakening the link between the column and the beam and …

Buckling‐restrained braces (BRBs) have proven to be very effective in improving the seismic
performance of existing and new structures. They provide strength, stiffness and add energy …

This article presents a literature review of existing research on the strong column–weak
beam design philosophy, which has been widely adopted in the seismic design of frame …
