The concrete core structures consist of a number of connected shear walls that form a
tubular section. The core section might be open or closed using a series of beams or floor …

A study was conducted to develop a modeling approach that integrates flexure and shear
interaction under cyclic loading conditions to obtain reliable predictions of inelastic …

Reinforced concrete shear walls are used because they provide high lateral stiffness and
resistance to extreme seismic loads. However, with the increase in building height, these …

Reinforced concrete columns with insufficient transverse reinforcement and non‐seismic
reinforcement details are vulnerable to brittle shear failure and to loss of axial load carrying …

Despite the frequent use of C-shaped reinforced concrete (RC) cores as the primary force-
resisting system in multistory buildings, there are still challenges in estimating their inelastic …

We present a model for estimating horizontal ground motion amplitudes caused by shallow
crustal earthquakes occurring in active tectonic environments. The model provides …

A fiber-section model based Timoshenko beam element is proposed in this study that is
founded on the nonlinear analysis of frame elements considering axial, flexural, and shear …

Analytical studies are conducted to develop an effective analytical model to simulate the non-
linear response of reinforced concrete (RC) walls subjected to three-dimensional (3D) loads …

Reinforced concrete shear walls are typically modeled with twodimensional continuum
elements. Such models can accurately describe the local behavior of the wall element …

A macroscopic finite element modeling approach was adopted in this study for simulating
the in-plane hysteretic lateral load behavior of medium-rise reinforced concrete structural …
