Abstract: Abstract Existing RC framed buildings lack significant ductility, especially when they have been built with pre-code criteria. Improving their ductile capacity can help to prevent them from the brittle collapse mechanism and to reduce the… read more here.

Abstract: The paper presents an innovative approach in the modelling of multi-storey timber-framed buildings, where double-skin façade elements (DSF) are additionally considered as load-bearing wall elements against a horizontal load impact. The mathematical model with a… read more here.
