Abstract Effect of higher vibration modes on the seismic shear demand of reinforced
concrete cantilever walls has been studied since the 1970's. The shear amplification …

Coupled shear walls (CSWs) are structural systems connect two or more walls at the floor
levels by reinforced concrete beams called coupling beams (CBs). These systems have …

The deformation of beam-column joints may contribute significantly to drift of reinforced
concrete (RC) frames. In addition, failure may occur in the joints due to cumulative concrete …

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 …

A finite-element modeling approach has been used in this study to predict the nonlinear
behavior and failure patterns of rectangular reinforced concrete structural walls. Efficiency of …

Reinforced concrete squat walls, with height less than twice the length, are key structural
elements for seismic resistance in many structures. Design formulas available in building …

The development of an analytical model to predict the inelastic seismic response of
reinforced concrete shear-wall buildings, including both the flexural and shear failure modes …

Reinforced concrete walls are the primary lateral load-resisting systems in numerous
multistory buildings and nuclear structures located in seismically active regions. Hence …

This paper experimentally and numerically investigates the seismic behavior of two
innovative types of hybrid precast concrete shear walls with diagonal-shaped or cross …

This paper reports research aimed at better understanding the seismic behavior of squat
reinforced concrete walls, as well as develo** design recommendations. Observations on …
