Punching Shear Retrofit Method Using Shear Bolts for Reinforced Concrete Slabs under Seismic Loading
(University of Waterloo, 2008-04-10)Reinforced concrete slab-column structures are widely used because of their practicality. However, this type of structures can be subject to punching-shear failure in the slab-column connections. Without shear reinforcement, ... -
A Study on Vibration Isolation in a Wind Turbine Subjected to Wind and Seismic Loading
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-30)The primary loading on wind turbines is in the lateral direction and is of a stochastic nature, due to wind and seismic forces. As turbines grow larger, they experience proportionally larger lateral forces. Large forces ...
