Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls have been widely applied in construction to maintain the stability of high embankments. In Vietnam, imported reinforcement materials are expensive; thus, finding locally available materials for MSE walls is benef...

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel concrete-encased column (CE) using small circular steel tubes filled with cementitious grouting material (GFST) as the primary reinforcement instead of traditional steel bars. The research involve...

Unbonded steel-mesh-reinforced rubber bearings (USRBs) have been proposed as an alternative isolation bearing for small-to-medium-span highway bridges. It replaces the steel plate reinforcement of common unbonded laminated rubber bearings (ULNR) with spe...

Research on tunnel excavation has rarely considered the effect of the tunnel excavation on a complete building. Therefore, this paper considered a building with a double basement and piles, and a three-dimensional finite-element model for shield tunnels ...

Shear walls are important vertical and lateral bearing element in structures. While shear walls with openings are fragile due to stress concentration and the quasi-brittle behavior of concrete in tension. Therefore, additional strengthening rebars are re...

Nowadays, seismic codes are regularly updated with new knowledge and a better understanding of the earthquake phenomenon. With these updates, existing buildings require a reevaluation of their stability and a process of reinforcement and/or retrofitting....

Structural frame systems that consists of concrete-encased-steel-embedded composite columns and reinforced concrete beams are typically used in mid-rise to tall buildings. In order to understand their overall structural behavior, a total of 12 frame mode...
