Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the seismic performance of axially loaded reinforced concrete (RC) walls with boundary elements confined by limited transverse reinforcement. These specimens were ...

Abstract: A floor supported on long-span beams, which was designed to accommodate bio research instruments, is evaluated for vibration induced by people walking. First, a brief review in vibration criteria is given. The variation ...

Abstract: A method has been developed for the design of reinforced concrete (RC) members when subjected to blast loadings based on the nondimensional energy spectrum. Numerical analyzes showed good agreement between the approximate ...
