This paper presents the findings of a research project investigating the lateral load drift
behaviour of lightly reinforced concrete columns and structural walls. Such columns and …

Soft story buildings are vulnerable to seismic forces due to their weak lower levels, which
can lead to significant damage or even collapse during earthquakes. Various analysis and …

Displacement-based design of reinforced-concrete (RC) columns requires reliable
estimation of the drift capacity beyond the elastic range. Although many post-peak drift …

A unique experimental field test study that provides insight into the push-over load–
deflection and collapse behaviour of a soft storey building is reported in this paper. The five …

The paper presents drift-based fragility functions for nonductile reinforced concrete (RC)
columns having light transverse reinforcement steel ratio which predominantly fail in shear …

Soft storey buildings are common in regions of lower seismicity and are considered
particularly vulnerable due to their limited displacement capacity. This paper presents a …

Experimental field testing of a soft-storey building in Melbourne has been undertaken. The
soft-storey open ground floor was a precast concrete frame with connections significantly …
