DOI: 10.1016/j.engstruct.2018.04.098
Abstract: Abstract Seismic retrofit technology has been significantly developed to reduce building damage during earthquakes. However, earthquakes are unpredictable natural disasters that should be dealt with flexibly. Hence, the seismic retrofitting method should be independently studied.… read more here.

DOI: 10.12989/sem.2020.73.1.053
Abstract: In different high seismic regions around the world, many non-ductile existing reinforced concrete frame buildings, built without adequate seismic detailing requirements, have been damaged or collapsed after past earthquakes. The assessment and the retrofit of… read more here.
