Abstract: Bracing is commonly used to provide resistance to lateral forces in building structures. However, traditional bracing design approaches appear not to be underpinned by clear fundamental principles. Here, theoretically optimal arrangements of bracing members are… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column joints are the critical components of RC building frames. Congestion and even collision of reinforcing bars (rebars) encounter frequently in the core region of a joint. The building information modeling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.engstruct.2021.112922
Abstract: Abstract Numerous existing building structures around the world were constructed without seismic provisions. Reinforced concrete columns in these buildings feature shortcomings (e.g., shorter lap splices, splices located in the plastic hinge zone, and minimal confinement)… read more here.
