A relatively simple finite element modeling methodology was developed for simulating the cyclic lateral load behavior of reinforced concrete structural walls with varying [...]

A simplified methodology is proposed in this study for the preliminary design of low-to-medium-rise reinforced concrete buildings without significant structural irregular [...]

Existing approaches used to model the lateral load versus deformation responses of reinforced concrete (RC) members typically assume uncoupled axial/flexural and shear re [...]

Between 1950’s and 1970’s, a significant number of buildings were constructed using lightly reinforced, perimeter walls with openings. Evaluation and rehabilitation o [...]

Reinforced concrete squat walls are common in low-rise construction and as wall segments formed by window and door openings in perimeter walls. Existing approaches used t [...]
