Abstract: There are many situations where strengthening might be required for a nonprismatic reinforced concrete section (i.e., a beam or slab where the depth of the section varies along its length). For example, many bridges in the ...

Abstract: A new real-time substructure method for testing systems under dynamic loading is described. The method separates a complex system into a physical, possibly nonlinear, subsystem (to be tested experimentally at large scale) ...

Abstract: Real-time substructure testing is a method for establishing the dynamic behavior of structural systems. The method separates a complex structure into physical and numerically modeled substructures, which interact in real-time ...
