Abstract: To investigate the ground motion isolation feasibility, a new brick building system is considered here in which a clear smoothened surface is created at plinth level just above the damp‐proof course, and the superstructure ...

Abstract: The effect of cable stiffness on the behavior of cable‐stayed bridges is presented. Bridges of radiating arrangement with 12, 20, 28, and 36 cables per plane were investigated. Three cases of side to main span ratios, 0.35, ...

Abstract: The paper presents the hysteresis behavior of axially loaded reinforced concrete bracing members. The object was to study the reduction in stiffness in relation to the number of cycles and the energy dissipation capacity. ...
