The satisfactory structural behavior observed during large earthquakes and the high
seismicity of the country has conditioned the Chilean society to expect immediate occupancy …

The utilization of thinner and more slender walls in the design of reinforced concrete shear
wall structures has become increasingly popular in Chile and other countries. However …

Nonlinear modeling is performed for a reinforced concrete building that presented flexural
damage during the 2010 Chile earthquake. The focus of the analysis is the behavior of a …

Reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls are widely used in high-rise buildings as the
lateral force resisting system because of their inherent economy, stiffness, and strength. The …

This paper presents a seismic fragility assessment of medium-rise reinforced concrete (RC)
wall buildings, focusing on fishbone-type buildings with high wall densities and other …

The buckling of reinforcing steel should be considered in the design of reinforced concrete
elements subjected to compression since it can influence the load-carrying capacity and …

The amount of longitudinal steel in reinforced concrete walls is a key point in the damage
distribution along the wall, although it is usually associated mainly with the prevention of …

Structural systems including reinforced concrete (RC) walls are common and efficient in the
design of buildings in seismic areas all over the world. RC structural walls have large (over) …

In order to contribute to the lack of statistical anomaly detection and sensitivity visualization
of the response parameters from international seismic codes, this study presents a …

The 2010 Chile earthquake of magnitude Mw 8.8 showed the importance of using correct
detailing at the wall boundary. Most design methodologies for wall boundary special …
