Abstract
The codes used in seismic design of waffled-slab floors buildings (WSFB), such as the Spanish NCSE-02 earthquake-resistant design code, assign them restricted ductility, utilise linear structural analysis based on modal analysis, but also consider the structural ductility
concept. [...]
Abstract
This monograph focuses on an eminently practical issue, which allows to take advantage of the characteristics associated with high ductility steels: the confinement of concrete. [...]
