Reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall often exhibits a brittle failure pattern, which may
present an obvious size effect. The objective of this study is to explore the size effect on RC …

The purpose of this study is to investigate the size effect on reinforcement concrete (RC)
shear walls having different shear span ratios and vertical reinforcement ratios by the two …

Shear failure is one of the main failure modes of shear walls. The failure behavior of
reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall with aspect ratio of 1.0 is analyzed by means of meso …

A novel biaxial finite-element (FE) model is proposed and validated by a total of 32
reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls with aspect ratio below 1.5. First, a biaxial concrete …

Changing the use of an existing building may require removing some portions of its
structural members, such as introducing door and window openings in the existing shear …

The stress design method is gaining more and more attention for the design of two-
dimensional and three-dimensional reinforced concrete members. Shear walls, a common …

Reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls are common structural elements, although their cyclic
behavior under different combinations of axial and lateral loading requires further study. The …

For accurately simulating the dynamic mechanical behavior of Reinforced Concrete (RC)
shear walls subjected to dynamic loads, in this paper, a two-dimensional meso‑scale …

An analytical model which can simulate the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC)
structures (such as panels and shear walls) subjected to in-plane shear and normal stresses …

In this paper, a new simplified model for simulating damage of squat RC shear walls under
lateral loads is proposed. This simplified model is based on damage and fracture …
