Abstract According to ASCE7-05, response spectrum analysis (RSA) procedure can be used
to determine the seismic demands of the structures for the seismic design of any type of …

Among various analysis methods, response spectrum analysis (RSA) is widely used to
compute design forces of structures subjected to earthquake loading. Previous studies …

Response spectrum analysis (RSA) procedure commonly used in design practice has been
found to underestimate design forces in tall buildings. Failure and damage of reinforced …

The seismic response of the high‐rise reinforced concrete (RC) wall structures is really
complicated as several vibration modes other than the fundamental mode normally …

Medium-rise reinforced concrete (RC) framed apartment complexes with stories ranging
from 15 to 50 are becoming more common in Ethiopia's main cities. In these RC-framed …

The standard response spectrum analysis (RSA) procedure prescribed in various design
codes is commonly used by practicing engineers to determine the seismic demands for …

The frequent occurrence of earthquakes around the world has heightened the need for
studying the seismic performance of existing structures according to code of practice. This …

Many reinforced concrete buildings in urban regions lying in active seismic zones, may
suffer moderate to severe damages during ground motions. Shear walls are extensively …

The seismic performance of pre-1970s squat reinforced concrete shear walls is assessed
