The dynamic and probabilistic seismic performances of precast prestressed reinforced
concrete frames (RCFs) are assessed in this paper, and the slab influence in the overall …

Guaranteeing adequate safety levels in critical infrastructures such as bridges is essential to
modern societies and their vital services. Bridges with reinforced concrete structures are …

The study proposes a solution of constructing the inevitable rectangular opening in the
reinforced concrete (RC) slab upon the metallic damper for the RC beam-column frame to …

An emulative precast concrete beam-column connection consists of prefabricated columns,
T-shaped composite beams with partially bonded post-tensioned (PT) tendon, and cast-in …

This paper numerically investigates the effect of post-tension interventions to strengthen the
deteriorated half-joints of the Musmeci Bridge in Potenza (Italy), with the primary objective of …

Fully fastened haunch retrofit solution (FFHRS) is a low-invasive method for seismic
retrofitting of substandard beam-column joints. The method is quite effective provided a …

The fast development of quality concrete production has increased the usage of high-
strength concrete (HSC) in the columns of high-rise buildings where high axial column loads …

Reinforced concrete beam-column joints play a key role in transferring gravity and lateral
loads from beam to column. One of the main failures of the RC joints is shear failure due to a …

The paper discusses how joint damage and deterioration affect the seismic response of
existing reinforced concrete frames with sub-standard beam–column joints. The available …

There are many existing buildings for which seismic rehabilitation interventions are required,
especially in earthquake-prone areas like Italy. At the same time, the deep energy crisis that …
