A new energy absorber for earthquake resistant buildings
… presented for the isolation of buildings from earthquake effects, however, no proper absorber has been suggested to be used in this method. This device has an excellent performance in this regard, because of its shortening ability and its compact form along with its high energy absorbing …

Structural behavior and modeling of high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites for earthquake-resistant design
For earthquake-resistant design, adequate concrete confinement is vital for a ductile structural response and for providing a stable energy dissipating mechanism. Since concrete materials generally exhibit quasi-brittle failure and a low tensile strength, designers of traditional reinforced …

Development of A New Self-centring Low-damage Bracing System for Earthquake Resistant Structures Using Resilient Slip Friction Joints (RSFJs)
… a structure against different levels of earthquakes. The first and the explicit one is that the life-safety of the inhabitants must be assured by sacrificing the fuse elements with the intention of dissipating the input earthquake energy at the time of Ultimate Limit State (ULS) …

Utilization of coconut fibres and ropes as concrete reinforcement in mortar-free construction with novel interlocking blocks: Considering its application in earthquake resistant housing
Safe housing in earthquake prone regions is a priority for all. No one wants to compromise on this, but at the same time, there arises a question of ability to finance. Many people, particularly those who live in rural areas of developing and underdeveloped countries, cannot afford expensive …

High-performance braces for seismic design
… for the structural engineer in designing earthquake-resistant structures is to design buildings with both adequate ductility and sufficient stiffness. Traditional lateral force resisting systems such as the moment resisting frame and the concentrically braced frame are both conventional …

Concrete columns and beams reinforced with FRP bars and grids under monotonic and reversed cyclic loading
… level exceeding 2% and 2.5% limits specified for earthquake resistant columns in the National Building Code of Canada (1995, 2005). Failure in these columns was initiated by the spalling of concrete cover, followed by the buckling of FRP bars in compression at approximately 0.45% to 0.60% …

Residential building design : comprehensive comparative guidelines for building single-family dwellings in Hawaii
Energy shortages, earthquakes, and hurricanes are environmental factors that challenge the home designers of Hawaii. The depletion of renewable natural resources and global warming trends foreshadow energy shortage and the increases of hurricane frequency. Thus, it is essential that future homes in …
