Exterior beam-column joint is typically the weakest link in a limited-ductile RC frame
structure. The use of diagonal haunch element has been considered as a desirable seismic …

This paper focuses on the seismic vulnerability assessment of old RC buildings prone to
brittle shear effects, ie, with extremely low transversal reinforcement ratios in columns. Within …

Malaysia and Singapore have adopted Eurocode 8 (EC8) for the seismic design of building
structures. The authors studied the seismic hazard modelling of the region surrounding …

Malaysia is to adopt Eurocode 8 (EC8) in the seismic design of building structures. Some
members in the authorship of this paper have been researching into the seismic hazard …

As many European countries, the Portuguese territory is a region of moderate seismicity,
and a large part of its building stock includes reinforced concrete (RC) buildings built before …

The aim of this study was to model the cyclic response of non-ductile reinforced concrete
columns with increasing drift levels until the columns experience a loss of axial load carrying …

Construction of reservoirs is known to have risks in triggering earthquakes. These reservoir-
triggered earthquakes (RTE) are transitory phenomena which may feature a delay to occur …

Malaysia is in a unique situation and location in terms of its geographical layout and
proximity to the seismic rings of fire. The Peninsular Malaysia experienced distant …

This article is the first in the special theme session (of the ASEM17 conference) which is
aimed at helping engineering practitioners who are engaged in the structural design of …
