Beam–column connections are the most critical components of reinforced concrete (RC)
structures. They serve as a load transfer path and take a significant portion of the overall …

Bridge construction is one of the cores of traffic infrastructure construction. To better develop
relevant bridge science, this paper introduces the main research progress in China and …

Substitute Frame (SF) model is a recently introduced equivalent simplified MDOF model by
the authors which is applicable to moment-resisting frames, facilitating the modeling efforts …

Abstract The “Substitute Frame”(SF) model, which is a simplified MDOF system consisting of
a one-bay multistory frame, has recently been introduced by the authors to predict the static …

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 …

Column-beam joints are of critical importance in cast-in-situ reinforced concrete structures.
Under the effect of earthquake, no damage should occur in these regions that would disrupt …

To investigate the effect of spandrel beam torsion on the progressive collapse resistance of
the monolithic precast concrete (PC) spatial frames, three PC substructures (a cantilever …

As a building material, engineered bamboo has caught attention around the world due to its
advantages in energy conservation and environmental protection. The seismic performance …

In this study, a cyclic lateral load experiment was performed to assess the behavior of
reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column joints with non-seismic detailing. For the experiment …

This paper presents the utilization of shape-memory alloys (SMAs) and engineered
cementitious composites (ECC) as an alternative to carbon steel and concrete, respectively …
