This paper presents the finite-element analytical results of the self-centering steel plate wall (SC-SPSW) specimen which was tested using pseudo-dynamic testing procedur [...]

The research presented here employed nonlinear continuum analysis to investigate the design parameters that determine the failure mechanism and deformation capacity of pl [...]

Typically steel moment-resisting frame structures in the United States, similar to many super-high-rise framed-tube structures being constructed in Japan, have stiff beam [...]

Accurate determination of the response of concrete in tension is required for analysis of massive concrete structures designed based on philosophy of un-cracked concrete [...]

A series of experimental tests on large reinforced concrete structural walls are being conducted at the University of Illinois NEES facility as part of the project “NEE [...]

Reinforced concrete structural walls are commonly used as the primary lateral-load resisting system in buildings. The research presented herein represents the first-phase [...]
