Abstract: Designing a fully modular building, which is without the support of any separate lateral resisting elements, has the advantage of rapid site assembly, but runs the risk of a brittle style of connection failures in a rare ...

Abstract: This study aimed to quantitatively develop realistic quasi-static loading protocols for simulating bidirectional cyclic actions and axial load variation on building columns in a way that is representative of an actual ...

Abstract: Scrap tire disposal has been a critical environmental problem in many urban cities due to the huge increase in the number of vehicles. Significant research efforts have been devoted in recent years to explore the use of ...

Abstract: The seismic behavior of ductile high-strength RC (HSRC) columns that are constructed in regions of high seismicity is well understood due to a number of experimental studies conducted over the last few decades. However, ...
