Abstract: A panel zone dissipator modular node (PZ-MN) has been developed for use in seismic-resistant steel moment frames. The PZ-MN is configured directly for optimal seismic performance through a casting process. The PZ-MN ...

Abstract: This study examined a composite foundation that was improved by the joint usage of two types of columns: soil-cement and stone columns. The composite foundation that consists of soil-cement columns, stone columns, and ...

Abstract: The study assesses the fatigue life of a composite truss (CT) employed in strengthening the Xiuzhen River Bridge. Initially, weigh-in-motion data of the bridge undergo analysis, focusing on parameters such as traffic volume, ...

Abstract: At present, there is no well-accepted method for the design of tunnels built in cement-admixed soils. Moreover, spatial variability and heterogeneity in strength have been reported for such treated soils. This paper presents ...

Abstract: A new mechanical model of polyvinyl alcohol fiber–reinforced ferrocement cementitious composite (PVA-RFCC) was proposed with excellent integrated mechanical properties, which was reinforced with both PVA fiber and steel ...
