Sustainability necessitates the protection of infrastructure from any kind of deterioration over
the life cycle of the asset. Deterioration in the capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) …

This paper reviews the conceptual and technical advances in multi-actuator dynamic
loading in modern structural testing. In particular, a focus is given to the developments and …

A novel framework for hybrid simulation of the seismic response of structures is presented
that employs a mixed displacement and force control strategy. A key feature of this …

While sustainability addresses the economic, social and environmental impacts distributed
over the life cycle of a structure; commonly, ordinary events such as construction, normal …

This paper proposes a digital twin-based multi-element hybrid simulation (DMHS)
framework to predict the nonlinear cyclic response of structural components (digital twin), eg …

A rapid repair and replacement method is developed for earthquake-damaged concrete
columns. Headed steel bars enclosed in a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) shell …

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures are prone to spalling damage. Successful detection and
quantification of spalling are critical to monitoring the structural safety condition. Point cloud …

This paper presents the development and application of multi-axis pseudo-dynamic hybrid
simulation for evaluating the seismic stability of steel braced frame structures. The advanced …

This paper presents the application of multi-axis hybrid simulation for evaluating the seismic
response of a rigid-frame bridge structure constructed with concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) …

The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) to repair and seismically strengthen existing
deficient or damaged structural elements is now widespread. FRP anchors have become an …
