Observations following the 2010/2011 Canterbury Earthquakes revealed unexpected damage to reinforced concrete walls, characterized by undesirable failure modes such as cr [...]

The seismic performance of grouted connections between precast concrete panels was questioned in New Zealand following the 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquakes. Inadequate co [...]

Current methods of seismic analysis and design of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings typically consider the walls in isolation from the rest of the building, or rely on r [...]

Research into the seismic design of lightly reinforced concrete (RC) walls was initiated following the Canterbury earthquakes in New Zealand when several walls were obser [...]

Existing predictive models of self-centering precast concrete walls with posttensioning are generally computationally expensive. While simplistic models have a low comput [...]

Self-centering precast concrete walls have been found to provide excellent seismic resistance. Such systems, however, typically exhibit low energy dissipation, requiring [...]
