Despite the increasing interest in progressive collapse-resistant design and analysis of
reinforced concrete buildings that was triggered by accidental and man-made extreme …

The simple lateral mechanism analysis (SLaMA) is an analytical method to assess the force–
displacement capacity curve of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures composed of frames …

The poor seismic response of gravityload-designed reinforced concrete (RC) frames with a
soft story can be effectively controlled by using metallic dampers as passive energy …

Recent catastrophes that occurred during seismic events suggest the importance of
developing new seismic-resistant materials for use in building construction. Ordinary …

Columns of masonry infilled reinforced concrete frames are prone to shear failure due to the
detrimental effect of infill under lateral earthquake loads. This effect is catastrophic in ground …

This study presents a seismic vulnerability and risk assessment of the residential building
stock in Costa Rica. It proposes a new exposure model using housing census data, public …

Screw anchors are widely used in applications such as fastening base plates in steel and
metal construction, formwork and bracing, structural steel applications, railings and …

This paper presents an analytical model for the estimation of initial lateral stiffness of steel
moment resisting frames with masonry infills. However, rather than focusing on the single …

The current research work aims to investigate the seismic performance of the reinforced
concrete structures fully, as well as, partially infilled with masonry infill (MI) walls. For that, a …

En la antigüedad, la mampostería se realizaba con piedra tallada, sin utilización de acero
de refuerzo y unidas entre sí por pegantes. Estructuralmente soportan cargas …
