Abstract: The behavior of frame connections repaired and/or strengthened by jacketing was assessed experimentally. Four slab‐beam‐column joints were constructed and rehabilitated. The specimens were tested under bidirectional cyclic ...

Abstract: Some of the structural earthquake-disaster mitigation programs implemented in developing countries are evaluated, with an emphasis on Latin America. Recommendations for reducing the vulnerability of engineered construction ...

Abstract: In this study, a performance-based model is proposed, capable of simulating seismic behavior of typical confined masonry (CM) walls whose response is governed by shear deformations. This model is developed on the basis of ...
