Study on the influence of stiffness-to- gravity ratio on the seismic performance of base-isolated high-rise building structures

Base isolation can effectively improve the seismic performance and earthquake safety reserve of structures. However, when it is applied to buildings with large aspect ratios, there are two main problems: isolation effectiveness and overturning resistance. This paper discusses and...

Anchoring Performance of FRP Bar Connectors for Alkali-Activated Lightweight Aggregate Concrete Wall Panels in a Wet–Hot Acid Rain Environment

Abstract This study investigated the bond behavior of basalt fiber–reinforced polymer bars (BFRP) and glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars embedded in alkali-activated ceramsite concrete using direct pull-out tests on 150-mm cubic specimens. The tests were conducted under b...
