SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF RESILIENT REINFORCED CONCRETE COLUMNS WITH ULTRA-HIGH-STRENGTH REBARS UNDER STRONG EARTHQUAKE-INDUCED MULTIPLE REVERSED CYCLIC LOADING

Seismic Behavior of Resilient Reinforced Concrete Columns with Ultra-High-Strength Rebars Under Strong Earthquake-Induced Multiple Reversed Cyclic Loading

The frequent occurrence of major earthquakes highlights the structural challenges posed by long-period ground motions (LPGMs).This study investigates the seismic performance and resilience of five reinforced Wet Mops concrete (RC) columns with different high-strength steel bars under LPGM-induced cyclic loading, both experimentally and numerically.

Adaptive relay selection based on channel gain and link distance for cooperative out-band device-to-device networks

Device-to-device (D2D) communication is one of the key enabling technologies for 5G to support many connections efficiently.In a cooperative out-band D2D communication network, relay nodes have an essential role in receiving and forwarding information signals from source (S) to destination (D), making the system more reliable and with higher energy
