In this study, a simple shear model is developed that can be used with the Multiple-Vertical-Line-Element-Model (MVLEM) to represent a shear wall in a reinforced concrete [...]

The objective of this research is to develop a simple and reliable constitutive model for reinforcing steel bars which includes the effects of bar buckling for use in non [...]

Buildings with in-plan non symmetric mass and stiffness distributions are characterized by a seismic behavior that is commonly defined as irregular. The reason for such c [...]

This paper examines the sensitivity of computed seismic system demands to modeling choices made at the material level. Accurate constitutive models of the constituent mat [...]

The effects of rocking bridge foundations were investigated by two series of highly instrumented centrifuge tests. Slow cyclic tests on shallow foundations supporting rig [...]
