Abstract: Poor performance of lightly reinforced and unconfined concrete structural walls have been observed in recent earthquake events. This research investigates the displacement capacity of such walls by comparing the results of a series of state-of-the-art… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Recent experimental results have shown that current minimum vertical reinforcement limits in many concrete design standards are insufficient to ensure that large ductility can be achieved during earthquakes. A detailed finite element model was… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract During the last two decades, thin concrete walls have been frequently used to brace mid- to high-rise buildings in some Latin American countries. This structural system differs significantly in terms of wall geometry and… read more here.
