Modern-designed reinforced concrete walls can typically achieve the primary performance
level of collapse prevention in a moderate-to-large earthquake event. However, the …

This study employs a non-linear static analysis, known as pushover analysis, to explore the
flexural-compressive behavior of complex shear walls within a reinforced concrete (RC) …

Within a building, anchors are essential for the connection of various nonstructural systems
to reinforced concrete elements, including shear walls. During an earthquake, anchors in …

Concrete walls are used commonly as part of the lateral-load resisting system for buildings
in regions of high seismicity. Damage to walled buildings in recent earthquakes has …

A series of experimental studies were conducted on reinforced concrete walls last several
years in Japan in order to study compression controlled flexural failure which was observed …

This research focuses on both experimental and analytical investigation of the seismic
behavior of lightly reinforced concrete (RC) walls. The main objective of this research is to …

A revised edition of Standards for Structural Calculation of RC Structures was published by
the Architectural Institute of Japan in 2010. It relaxed requirements on boundary columns …

Observed damages in reinforced concrete wall buildings following some recent earthquakes
raised concerns about the seismic performance of rectangular RC walls with confined …
