Abstract The Italian “Guidelines for the seismic risk classification of constructions” approved
in February 2017 define the technical principles for exploiting tax deductions with respect to …

The evaluation of the corrosion effects on both the local and global behaviour of reinforced
concrete elements is nowadays a topical problem, since many structures have reached their …

Abstract Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix and Composite Reinforced Mortar, are
amongst relatively new type of inorganic composites. Several precedent research programs …

The high vulnerability of existing Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures, even to moderate
seismic events, has been confirmed from recent post-earthquake surveys. Short and wall …

This paper studies the seismic behavior of old-style reinforced concrete beam-column joints
and the effectiveness of an innovative application of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) as a …

In this study, finite element (FE) simulation is conducted to analyze the dynamic response
and damage/failure characteristics of typical three-column reinforced concrete (RC) piers …

Reinforced concrete (RC) columns are function as structural member resisting vertical
loading. The combined effects of vertical loading and transverse loading might induce shear …

ABSTRACT The 2017 New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering (NZSEE)
guidelines for seismic assessment of buildings recommends using Simple Lateral …

Reinforced concrete (RC) frame–shear wall structures are extensively used in urban areas.
As a major part of the lateral load resisting system, the shear wall is a key component for the …

Reinforced concrete (RC) columns typical of existing structures often exhibit premature
failures during seismic events (ie, longitudinal bars buckling and shear interaction …
