The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of damped cable systems (DCS)
to mitigate the earthquake-induced responses of a building frame structure. The seismic …

This research proposes a procedure to retrofit existing structures using self-centring post-
tensioned precast concrete (SC-PC) frames. The procedure utilises the initial stiffness of the …

This study presents the shaking table test results of two-dimensional reinforced concrete
(RC) frames retrofitted with a simplified friction damped brace. An easy-to-manufacture and …

Securing safety in formwork is one of the most important tasks to be carried out in the initial
stage of construction. The form pressure exerted by fresh concrete needs to be identified …

This research proposes two different configurations of precast ferrocement walls tested
under cyclic load conditions, so as to evaluate their seismic performance and potential …

This study introduces several configurations of ferrocement walls tested under severe cyclic
load conditions, in order to assess their seismic features to be used in construction of …
