In certain common cases, boundaries at the critical section of multistory reinforced concrete shear wall buildings are expected to undergo large compressive strains that [...]

In order to observe the interaction of structural elements at the onset of collapse, four frame specimens are planned to be tested at the National Center for Research on [...]

Several west coast cities are seeing an upsurge in the construction of high-rise buildings. Many of these buildings feature framing systems, materials, heights, and dynam [...]

Post earthquake reconnaissance studies show that the primary cause of collapse in older non-seismically detailed reinforced concrete buildings is the loss of vertical-loa [...]

In areas of high seismicity around the world, the collapse vulnerability of older RC structures built prior to the advent of more effective seismic design codes is under [...]
