A conceptual model is presented for describing the behavior of cracked reinforced concrete
elements, representing a hybrid formulation between a fully rotating crack model and a fixed …

Ductile fiber-reinforced cement-based composites (DFRCCs) are being investigated for new
design as well as retrofitting of structures in seismic regions. DFRCC is highly ductile and is …

This study describes a nonlinear truss modeling approach for reinforced concrete (RC) walls
or, in general, for plane stress RC elements subjected to cyclic reversals. Nonlinear vertical …

Reinforced concrete shear walls are often used to resist the lateral loads imposed by
earthquakes. Accurate evaluation of the seismic demands on shear walls requires adequate …

Recent eperience among some researchers suggests that analysis methods based on the
smeared rotating crack concept do not adequately model the response of shear-critical …

This paper examines the behavior of reinforced concrete shear wall buildings subjected to
strong earthquake ground motions, with a focus on collapse performance. The effect of …

A macromodel-based approach to enable post-event progressive collapse analysis of
reinforced concrete (RC) frame–wall structures is investigated. A simplified shear wall model …

Reinforced concrete shell structures have been widely used in a variety of modern
engineering applications. It is found from earthquake reconnaissance that reinforced …

In this article, the formulation and verification of a nonlinear quadrilateral layered membrane
element with drilling degrees of freedom for the nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete …

High performance fiber reinforced cement-based composites (HPFRCCs) are distinguished
from regular cement materials by their strain hardening behavior under uniaxial tension as …
