In multi-story shear wall buildings with gravity columns and slabs, structural walls serve as the main lateral force resisting elements while frames are designed to resis [...]

To investigate the response of non-ductile reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings under earthquake ground motions, before and after retrofit, a series of uni-directiona [...]

Although a lot of issues have been identified with the classical Rayleigh damping model, to date this model remains the most popular choice for nonlinear time-history ana [...]

This paper describes the development of a numerical model to predict the behaviour of a semi-active resettable tendon during seismic testing. Two resettable tendons were [...]

A three dimensional, approximately half scale experimental test has been carried out to investigate the effect of precast-prestressed floor units on the seismic performan [...]

Seismic performance of an existing reinforced concrete frame building constructed in New Zealand in the late 1950s was assessed by conducting non-linear static and non-li [...]

The effects of beam elongation in precast frame systems have been demonstrated to be a potential source of un-expected damage to precast floor systems, unless adequate de [...]
