Due to their excellent seismic behavior, shear wall-type concrete buildings are very popular in earthquake-prone countries like Chile. According to current seismic regulations, the performance of such structures can be indifferently assessed through line...

To simulate the dynamical structures of stratified shear flows, the high-resolution Total Variation Diminishing (TVD) method is necessary and widely-used due to its high-order spatial accuracy, oscillation control, and ability to capture the well-defined...

Masonry towers are part of a valuable architectural heritage characterizing the landscape of many historical areas. These towers are vulnerable structures that are prone to earthquake damage. Hence, the design of effective seismic upgrading interventions...

Dissipative structures known from non-equilibrium thermodynamics can form patterns. Cities are regarded as open, dissipative structures due to their self-organisation and thus in theory are also capable of pattern formation. In a first step to understand...

Existing experimental studies of the sensitivity of damping characteristics to the presence of cracks in structural elements are contradictory. Some studies declare high damping sensitivity but others conclude that a change in the dissipative ability of ...

The force distribution proposed by codes, which in many cases is framed in the equivalent static force procedure, likely leads to design structures with non-uniform drift distribution in terms of inter-storey drift and ductility demands. This can lead to...

Nature has many striking examples of adaptive structures: the emulation of birds? flight is the true challenge of a morphing wing. The integration of increasingly innovative technologies, such as reliable kinematic mechanisms, embedded servo-actuation an...
