Abstract From November to December 2015, shaking table experiments were conducted on
a ten-story reinforced-concrete building to acquire useful data for develo** advanced …

Rapid urbanization has resulted in increased demand for tall buildings in many large and
medium-sized cities around the world. Current code-based standards for seismic design are …

As structures are built taller and more slender, their response becomes increasingly
sensitive to dynamic loads that are induced by the buildings' higher‐frequency vibration …

ASCE/SEI 41 is the consensus US standard for the seismic evaluation and retrofit of existing
buildings. Although the performance-based engineering standard is based on decades of …

Most midrise and high-rise reinforced concrete (RC) buildings rely on RC structural walls as
their seismic force resisting system. The contribution of higher lateral modes to the elastic …

Squat reinforced concrete shear walls usually have diagonal shear–or sliding shear–
controlled behavior. Due to the lack of experimental data, there is uncertainty on how squat …

The displacement response of a building structure to earthquake excitations is crucial for
assessing its seismic damage, which is usually accompanied by structural nonlinear …

Abstract The Modified Compression Field Theory (MCFT) offers an improved understanding
of concrete behaviour by considering it as an orthotropic material and incorporating …

Recent devastating earthquakes worldwide pointed out the importance of seismic detailing
and their influence on the observed damage and subsequent repairability of reinforced …

Abstract A 10‐story reinforced‐concrete (RC) building was subjected to a shaking table test
using E‐Defense, the largest three‐dimensional earthquake simulator in the world, to …
