Inadequate seismic performance of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings is frequently encountered in earthquake prone countries such as Italy and New Zealand consequently, effective economical retrofit strategies need to be adopted order guarantee safety the preservation URM building stock. The technique studied herein consisted connecting vertical timber elements (strong-backs), interior surfac...

The design of multiple degrees-of-freedom frames is critical in civil engineering, as these structures are commonly used various applications such buildings, bridges, and industrial structures. In this study, a six-degrees-of-freedom beam-column element stiffness matrix was formulated by superposition beam truss elements matrices adapted to statically analyze indeterminate frame development num...

Considering the high vulnerability of existing structures and infrastructures, mainly due to deterioration building materials, exposure cyclic seismic loads environmental factors, one main challenges recent years in field structural health monitoring is development systems capable integrating satellite data with on-site sensor measurements order obtain more reliable information on safety condit...

Abstract All around the world, non-engineered masonry constructions (NECs) typically have high vulnerability to seismic ground motion, resulting in heavy damage and severe casualties after earthquakes. Even though a number of computational strategies been developed for analysis unreinforced structures, few studies focussed on NECs located developing countries. In this paper, different modelling...

Many factors affect the earthquake vulnerability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, constituting a large part existing building stock. Short column in RC structures is one reasons for damage. Significant damages may occur due to brittle fractures structural elements when shear resistances are exceeded under effect high stress short columns formed architectural and topographic reasons. This...

Deprem etkisi altında betonarme binaların şekildeğiştirmeye göre değerlendirilmesi ve tasarımında, taşıyıcı sistem elemanlarının kesit davranışının belirlenmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bir kesitin davranışını ise gerçeğe en yakın moment-eğrilik ilişkisinden elde edilebilmektedir. Betonarme bir ilişkisini etmenin uygun yolu deney yapmaktır. Ancak bu durum pratik ekonomik olmadığından dolayı lit...

Glued-laminated timber (Glulam) is an innovative engineered product and has been widely used for constructing spatial grand structures tall buildings due to its exceptional natural attraction, easy processing, decent fire resistance outstanding structural performance. However, global serviceability performances of constructed from Glulam products beams, columns bracings CLT lift core floors und...
