The dynamic behaviour of pile foundations under seismic loads has become a pivotal research focus in civil engineering, particularly in regions prone to earthquakes. Recent investigations have ...

When designing a building for lateral loads such as those generated by wind or earthquakes, engineers have several options. Lateral loads may be transferred to the foundation via braced frames or ...

A team led by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency has concluded a series of large-scale demonstration tests for an innovative new floating seismic isolation system intended for pairing with small modular ...

Research shows ECC shells can transform RC beam-column joints, enhancing load capacity and energy dissipation, crucial for earthquake-resistant design.
