Reinforced concrete columns play a very important role in structural performance. As such, it is essential to apply a suitable analytical tool to estimate their structural behaviour considering all failure mechanisms such as axial, shear, and flexural failures. This book highlights the development of a fiber beam-column element accounting for shear effects and the effect of tension stiffening through reinforcement-to-concrete bond, along with the employment of suitable constitutive material laws.
Reinforced concrete columns play a very important role in structural performance; as such, it is essential to apply a suitable analytical tool to estimate their structural behaviour and consider failure mechanisms. This monograph focuses on fiber beam-column elements.

This book serves to familiarize the reader with measurements of optoelectronic components. Its main focus is on the implementation of these measurements and the results obtained, specifically the static electrical and optical characteristics. It therefore links these measurements to solid state physics. Steps are taken to verify the adequacy of the associated physical measures and principles. The limits of physical models for a numerical approach are also established. Furthermore, the text presents the different technologies of light-emitting diodes through developing manufacturing processes, and details the measurements and experimental analyses.

Today, an enormous amount of research is devoted to immobilizing ionic liquid (IL) for electrochemical applications, due to its potential as an excellent substitute for liquid electrolytes. Among the more well-known strategies, entrapping IL in the polymer matrix can be considered as a feasible, low cost method for large scale production of ionogel. The versatility of both IL and polymer chemistry allows us to develop an infinite number of ionogels. This book provides a complete overview of this subject, moving from the development of ionogel to its application. It covers…

Design Concepts for Seismic-Resistant Buildings
Quantitative Shaking Evaluations
This book proposes a quantitative shaking evaluation for seismic-resistant buildings. In modern seismic-resistant building design codes, a building structure subjected to a strong earthquake can experience considerably large deformations without collapsing. This book features useful guidance to calculate the shaking quantity scale in detail. It also demonstrates the application of Artificial Intelligence (namely the Deep Neural Network) to predict the shaking quantity scale, which is highly important for early warning system applications for earthquakes.
