Seismic-resilient buildings are increasingly designed following low-damage and free-from-damage design strategies that aim to protect the structure?s primary load-bearing systems under ultimate-level seismic loads. With this scope, damping devices are lo...

Bonded joints used in wing sections and frames of aircraft structures are mostly exposed to cyclic loadings instead of static ones during their services. Bending types of dynamic loadings are mostly encountered. In this study, the fatigue response of a s...

The nonlinear load-settlement behaviours of vertically loaded pile groups containing various numbers of piles (up to a few hundred piles in a group) are analysed using the method proposed by Lee and Xiao. This back-analysis method assumes the ?local shea...
