The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of damped cable systems (DCS)
to mitigate the earthquake-induced responses of a building frame structure. The seismic …

This research proposes a procedure to retrofit existing structures using self-centring post-
tensioned precast concrete (SC-PC) frames. The procedure utilises the initial stiffness of the …

This study presents the shaking table test results of two-dimensional reinforced concrete
(RC) frames retrofitted with a simplified friction damped brace. An easy-to-manufacture and …

This research proposes two different configurations of precast ferrocement walls tested
under cyclic load conditions, so as to evaluate their seismic performance and potential …

This study introduces several configurations of ferrocement walls tested under severe cyclic
load conditions, in order to assess their seismic features to be used in construction of …
