Seismic Resilience of CRC- vs. RC-Reinforced Buildings: A Long-Term Evaluation

November 28, 2024 11:27 am
Corrosion-induced degradation in reinforced concrete (RC) structures, which is initiated within the first few decades of their lifespan, significantly challenges their seismic resilience and resistance. While existing research tools can assess performance, they fall short in predicting changes in seismic resistance resulting from alterations in the core properties of RC...Read More

Evaluation of Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings for Seismic Retrofit through External Stiffening: Limit Displacement Method

September 4, 2024 2:50 pm
This study introduces an alternative approach to the assessment of the earthquake resistance of existing buildings and the evaluation of the requirements for seismic retrofit through external stiffening. Instead of assessing individual structural components, we evaluate the entire building using a nonlinear static pushover analysis. Earthquake resistance of the building...Read More

Environmentally Friendly Smart Construction—Review of Recent Developments and Opportunities

November 27, 2023 1:47 pm
Modern economic, social and environmental challenges require a new type of construction that ensures resilience, low construction costs and ease of maintenance. Material production, manufacturing of structural elements and final assembly should minimise the environmental impacts, such as greenhouse emissions and waste production. This review aims to identify the key...Read More
