Recent Advances in Seismic Research at the University of Ljubljana

Tatjana Isaković will overview the experimental and analytical research on the seismic response of different reinforced concrete (RC) structures recently performed at the University of Ljubljana (UL).
The main results of shaking table tests on RC structural walls will be presented as well as the numerical model for walls developed at UL, which was successfully used for modelling different types of RC walls.
The design procedures for connections in RC precast buildings developed based on the shake table, cyclic experiments, and related analytical research will be briefly presented.
Information about the innovative synthetic seismic restrainers intended to protect cladding panels, which recently got approval for use in practice, will be given.
Finally, the already performed analytical studies of RC bridges, performed and future shaking table tests will be presented.
