this research under grant No. DTSH61-98-C-00094. In addition, I would like to thank to
the Taiwan’s National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) for
funding the experimental study conducted in this research.
At last, I would like to express my deep thank to my parents for their continuous
support for all of these years. In addition, I would like to thank to my girlfriend, Mrs.
Huei-An Chuang for her patience and love over the past years from my Master research
to Ph.D. research. TABLE OF CONTENTS
