Abstract

This study presents a comparative evaluation of the seismic response of mid-rise (G+4) reinforced concrete (RC) bare frame structures featuring plan irregularities, specifically L, I, and T-shaped configurations under fixed base and base-isolated conditions. These irregularities, typical in public buildings, lead to asymmetrical mass and stiffness distributions, affecting seismic performance. Six models were developed and analyzed using the Equivalent Static Method (ESM), with key parameters including base shear, storey drift, top-storey displacement, and fundamental time period. The results show that base isolation using rubber bearings effectively reduces base shear by 15-18%, although it increases overall system flexibility. Isolated models exhibited 44-45% higher top-storey displacements and 108-115% greater storey drifts compared to fixed-base counterparts. The fundamental time period also increased by approximately 40%, indicating enhanced energy dissipation and reduced structural stiffness. Among the plan configurations, I-shaped models experienced the highest base shear, while T-shaped structures performed best in terms of seismic efficiency. Despite excluding masonry infill and soil-structure interaction, the findings highlight the potential of base isolation to significantly enhance the seismic resilience of irregular RC buildings. The study recommends integrating base isolation in the design of geometrically irregular public buildings, particularly in high seismic zones, to improve safety and performance under earthquake loading.

Abstract

This study investigates the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) frames retrofitted with V-shaped steel bracing through a comparative analysis using Response Spectrum Analysis (RSA). A total of 24 models, 12 braced and 12 unbraced, were analyzed for 4-, 8-, 12-, and 16-story buildings, considering three base shear contributions (25%, 50%, and 75%) in columns observed. Key seismic parameters, including fundamental time period (FTP), top-story displacements, inter-story drift (ISD), base shear, and stiffness, were evaluated. Results demonstrate that V-bracing significantly improves seismic performance in low- to mid-rise buildings by reducing FTP (up to 76%), displacements (up to 72%), and ISD while increasing base shear demand (up to 59%) and structural stiffness. Higher base shear contributions in columns (e.g., 75%) led to increased displacements and reduced base shear, indicating a trade-off between column and bracing resistance. The findings highlight the effectiveness of steel bracing in retrofitting RC structures, with optimal performance observed when bracing resists a larger share of lateral forces. This study provides insights for seismic design and retrofitting strategies, emphasizing the role of dual systems in enhancing earthquake resilience. Further nonlinear analysis is recommended to explore post-yield behavior.

Abstract

Coastal port cities face unprecedented challenges from climate change, urbanization pressures, and maritime traffic intensification, threatening both urban sustainability and maritime operational efficiency. This research develops a comprehensive Smart Port-City Integration Framework employing GIS-based spatial analysis and predictive modeling to address sea-level rise adaptation, traffic congestion mitigation, and land-use optimization. Through qualitative analysis incorporating perspectives from urban planning experts, maritime infrastructure specialists, and port authority administrators, this study identifies critical integration strategies balancing environmental resilience with economic vitality. The framework synthesizes civil engineering principles with sustainable urban planning methodologies, demonstrating how coastal cities can transform port-urban interfaces into climate-adaptive, economically productive, and socially equitable spaces. Findings reveal significant gaps in current planning approaches, particularly regarding climate risk assessment integration and stakeholder coordination mechanisms. The research contributes practical implementation pathways for port cities globally, offering evidence-based strategies for sustainable coastal development aligned with SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities) and SDG 13 (Climate Action), while enhancing maritime competitiveness through intelligent infrastructure design and resilient spatial planning frameworks.

Abstract

Maritime transport's contribution of approximately 3% to global CO2 emissions necessitates urgent infrastructure transformation to achieve the International Maritime Organization's 2050 net-zero targets. This research develops a comprehensive Green Maritime Corridor framework integrating coastal infrastructure planning, alternative fuel bunkering networks, and emission control zones through evidence-based spatial optimization methodologies. Employing qualitative analysis incorporating perspectives from maritime engineers, environmental specialists, and logistics operators, this study identifies critical infrastructure requirements, technological readiness levels, and implementation barriers constraining decarbonization progress. The framework synthesizes transportation engineering principles with environmental sustainability imperatives, demonstrating how strategic corridor development can simultaneously reduce maritime emissions while enhancing operational efficiency and economic competitiveness. Findings reveal significant gaps in current infrastructure planning approaches, particularly regarding alternative fuel supply chain coordination and regulatory harmonization mechanisms. The research contributes actionable implementation pathways for maritime stakeholders globally, offering evidence-based strategies for accelerating shipping decarbonization aligned with Paris Agreement commitments and SDG 13 (Climate Action), while maintaining maritime transport's essential role in global trade through technologically advanced, environmentally responsible infrastructure systems.

Abstract

This article offers an extensive review of research conducted between 1990 and 2023 on reinforced concrete (RC) frames retrofitted with concentric steel bracing systems, emphasizing their seismic performance, design strategies, and retrofitting efficacy. Different bracing configurations, including X-type, V-type, diagonal, inverted V-type, and knee bracing are assessed regarding energy dissipation, ductility, overstrength factors (R), stiffness, and failure mechanisms, as demonstrated through experimental and numerical studies. Significant findings underscore the importance of buckling-restrained braces (BRBs), post-tensioned systems, and self-centering cable braces in enhancing lateral load capacity, minimizing displacements, and boosting seismic resilience. The review also investigates pushover analyses to evaluate failure modes (such as weak-beam/strong-column mechanisms) and the effects of retrofitting on existing buildings. Design methods, including elastic steel frames and optimization of shear capacity, are thoroughly compared. Notable gaps in current methodologies, such as the necessity for standardized quantification of the R-factor and performance-based design protocols, are highlighted. Drawing on over three decades of research, this paper concludes with recommendations for the future, stressing the importance of advanced materials, hybrid systems, and AI-driven modeling to enhance concentric braced RC frames in response to emerging seismic challenges.
