Abstract: This paper describes an experimental study on the seismic performance of concentrically braced steel frames made with cold-formed rectangular tubular bracing members. A total of 24 quasistatic cyclic tests were performed ...

Abstract: A new composite prosthesis was recently proposed for the anterior cruciate ligament. It is implanted in the femur and the tibia through two anchoring channels. Its intra-articular portion, ...

Abstract: Buildings designed according to modern seismic codes are expected to develop a controlled ductile inelastic response during major earthquakes, implying extensive structural damage after a design level earthquake, along ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the behavior of two 8-story cantilevered RC shear walls rehabilitated using carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite sheets when subjected to base excitations from a shake table. The two ...
