DOI: 10.1016/j.istruc.2019.08.006
Abstract: Abstract Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures built in the past decades in earthquake-prone regions do not generally meet the seismic safety standards requested by the current codes. Therefore, they generally need to be retrofitted with the… read more here.
