Abstract: AbstractSeismic design of tall mass timber structures continues to be challenging because of the limitations associated with the stiffness, strength, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity of traditional timber ...

Abstract: Abstract Bearings and expansion joints are critical elements of many bridges that permit deformations of the superstructure due to creep, shrinkage, and changes in temperature to occur without the development of longitudinal ...

Abstract: Abstract Fatigue cracking in steel structures poses a significant threat to their long-term performance and reduces their fatigue life. This study examines the effect of a repair intervention using ultrahigh-modulus carbon ...

Abstract: AbstractGround deformation monitoring is essential for the safe operation of critical infrastructure and urban construction activities. Advances in distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) technologies offer potential ...
