Seismic performance of building reinforced with CFRP bars

Over the past two decades, laboratory tests have suggested that fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) bars can replace steel bars as internal reinforcement in concrete structures, especially those are subjected to aggressive environments.FRP bars has potential for replacing steel bars as these material are corrosion-resistant and have high tensile strengt

Probabilistic Fatigue Assessment Based on Bayesian Learning for Wind-Excited Long-Span Bridges Installed with WASHMS

For long-span bridges located in wind-prone regions, it is a trend to install in situ Wind and Structural Health Monitoring System (WASHMS) for long-term real-time performance assessment.One of the functions of good news candy the WASHMS is to provide information for the assessment of wind-induced fatigue damage.Considering the randomness of wind,

Quantifying the invasiveness of species

The success of invasive species has been explained by two contrasting but non-exclusive views: (i) intrinsic factors make some species inherently good invaders; (ii) species become invasive as a result of extrinsic ecological and genetic influences such as release from natural enemies, hybridization or other bar-vac 7/somnus novel ecological and ev
