Precast concrete facilitates a construction method using durable and rapidly erectable
prefabricated members to create cost-effective and high-quality structures. In this method …

Although conventional reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls are prevalent in mid-rise to high-
rise framed buildings located in moderate to high seismic regions around the world, these …

This state-of-the-art review provides an overview of the evolution of self-centering structures
from early historical structures that inherently exhibited a recentering response to modern …

The seismic behavior of a full-scale precast reinforced concrete shear wall (PRCSW)
endowed with single-row grout-filled sleeves connection, which was developed for six-story …

In this paper, the seismic behaviors of four precast shear wall specimens and one cast-in-
place shear wall specimen are investigated by pseudo-static test method. For the precast …

A series of cyclic lateral-load tests were conducted on four different unbonded post-
tensioned precast concrete wall systems, including two Single Rocking Walls (SRW) and …

The increasing need to reduce damage and downtime in modern buildings has led to the
development of a low‐damage design philosophy, where the earthquake loads can be …

Expeditious urbanization and population rise around the globe has fostered the need of
speedy and efficient construction, thus generating immense pressure on the construction …

Reinforced concrete (RC) wall is a common type of structural component used in high-rise
buildings to resist lateral loads induced by earthquakes. RC walls are typically designed and …

In recent years, major earthquakes in China, Chile, New Zealand and Japan caused many
building structures severely damaged, which must be overhauled or rebuilt. Therefore, how …
