This study aims to examine the seismic performance of non-seismically designed shear wall
with moderate shear span-to-length ratios (SLR) under relatively high axial loads. Four wall …

This study investigates the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) non-seismically
designed shear walls with moderate shear span-to-length ratios (SLR), while being …

This study investigates the behavior of composite steel reinforced concrete (SRC) walls
under tension-shear (TS) coupled stress state during earthquakes. Quasi-static tests on five …

For earthquake-resistant design of reinforced concrete structures, the shear force for frame
elements is established on the basis of the proportions and flexural strength of the element …

RC shear walls are frequently used as lateral force-resisting system in building construction
because they have sufficient stiffness and strength against damage and collapse. If RC …

Shear walls are lateral load–resisting systems that provide lateral strength and stiffness in
order to reduce the horizontal sway of a building. Over recent years, composite shear walls …

In this study, a strut-and-tie model (STM) was established to predict the peak shear strength
of squat shear walls with and without boundary elements. The model was based on two …

Under strong earthquakes, reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls at the bottom of high-rise
buildings may experience an internal force state of alternating tension-shear (-bending) and …

Shear span ratio (SSR) is a key factor affecting the structural and seismic behavior of shear
walls. Existing experimental studies on the seismic behavior of shear walls with SSR less …

The application of single-face superposed (SFS) shear walls in high-rise residential
buildings within seismic zones has attracted extensive attention in past years, but the …
