Abstract About 2% of Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings taller than nine stories suffered
serious damage in structural walls during the 2010 Chile earthquake. The observed damage …

Reinforced concrete (RC) walls have been widely used in tall building construction to resist
lateral loads. However, RC walls behave low ductility and limited deformation capacity …

This paper presents the findings of a recent reconnaissance survey of the reinforced
concrete (RC) construction industry in Australia. The survey involved the review of the …

This paper proposes an innovative composite shear wall, named the steel tube-reinforced
concrete (ST-RC) composite wall, with steel tubes embedded at the wall boundary elements …

Reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls in tall buildings are found to have a short shear span,
particularly in high-degree coupled walls supported on transfer structures in low-to …

Abstract Machine learning (ML) has been recognized by researchers in the architecture,
engineering, and construction (AEC) industry but undermined in practice by (i) complex …

During the last two decades, thin concrete walls have been frequently used to brace mid-to
high-rise buildings in some Latin American countries. This structural system differs …

The ground motion intensity measure is a key parameter affecting the accuracy of
probabilistic seismic demand analysis (PSDA). This paper uses the incremental dynamic …

Seismic analyses of concrete structures under maximum-considered earthquakes require
the use of reduced stiffness accounting for cracks and degraded materials. Structural walls …

The seismic resistance of an innovative precast reinforced concrete shear wall with vertical
plates along its bottom edge to be bolted to plates protruding from the foundation was tested …
