Seven forced vibration tests were performed on an isolated single span of a freeway overpass structure. The tests performed were in conjunction with a series of states of controlled damage and repair. The work focused on horizontal forced vibration on the deck utilizing an eccen…
This dissertation investigated progressive collapse analysis of three-dimensional (3D) reinforced concrete (RC) frames that are optimized for carrying structural loads by introducing a unique simultaneous multi-column removal load path. While the concept of removing a key struct…
"This book explores how to overcome structural failures and guarantee a long life and go to tap hidden structural capacities, by touching different axes in field of civil engineering by optimizing the design, like pre-dimensioning dampers and fire design and optimizing both stru…
