Seismic soil-structure interaction: beneficial or detrimental?
George Mylonakis,George Gazetas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of soil-structure interaction (SSI) in the seismic response of structures is reexplored using recorded motions and theoretical considerations, and it is shown that an increase in the fundamental natural period of a moderately flexible structure due to SSI may have a detrimental effect on the imposed seismic demand.

Probabilistic Capacity Models and Fragility Estimates for Reinforced Concrete Columns based on Experimental Observations
TL;DR: In this article, a methodology to construct probabilistic capacity models of structural components is developed, which properly accounts for aleatory and epistemic uncertainties, and is used to estimate the fragility of a typical bridge column in terms of maximum deformation and shear demands.

Quasi-static cyclic tests and plastic hinge analysis of RC structural walls
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of quasi-static cyclic tests on six reinforced concrete (RC) walls performed at the ETH Zurich and show the importance of the reinforcement content and the ductility properties of both the boundary and web reinforcement for the deformation behaviour of the walls.

Steel Jacket Retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete BridgeColumns for Enhanced Shear Strength-Part 1: TheoreticalConsiderations and Test Design
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical and experimental investigation conducted to study the shear failure mode of reinforced concrete bridge columns designed before 1971, and to establish the effectiveness of full-height steel jackets for enhancing the seismic shear strength is described.
