Performance-based seismic retrofit (PBSR) methodology for multi-story buildings with full-scale experimental validation
… (1994) in California have highlighted the poor performance of one class of existing buildings. Many older buildings were designed prior to the implementation of modern seismic design codes. Although building codes have clearly evolved, the problem is still unresolved for older buildings that are …

An integrated VE damping and FRP strengthening system for performance-based seismic retrofit of RC columns
… is proposed to enable a cost- effective retrofitting design of reinforced concrete (RC) columns for multiple performances objectives. This methodology involves the integration of viscoelastic (VE) damping layers and fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening sheets into one compact …

Alternate Load Paths and Retrofits for Long-span Truss Bridges under Sudden Member Loss and Blast Loads
… proposes an integrated framework and performance-based criteria to quantify the load-path redundancy in the form of ALPs and proposes further three-dimensional (3-D) retrofit schemes to enhance the ALPs of long-span truss bridges subjected to sudden loss of a critical member. By taking …
