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 behavior of short‐period reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall structures is often
complicated and hard to predict accurately, even when the structure behaves in the elastic …

Due to their excellent seismic behavior, shear wall-type concrete buildings are very popular
in earthquake-prone countries like Chile. According to current seismic regulations, the …

The 2014 edition of Canadian Standard CSA A23. 3 Design of Concrete Structures contains
new displacement-based provisions that require the designer to estimate the top-wall …

A parametric study was performed to examine the seismic behaviour of moderately ductile
(MD) reinforced concrete shear walls designed according to Canadian code provisions …

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

This paper presents an assessment of the seismic performance of a ductile concrete core
wall used as a seismic force resisting system for a 12-storey concrete office building in …

Energy-based seismic design is being rapidly developed and suggests that the seismic
demands are met by the energy dissipation capacity of the structural members. Equivalent …

In this paper, the results of recent studies on inelastic seismic response of MDOF shear-
building structures are presented. In the last few decades, the concept of response …

Reinforced concrete shear wall is one of the most effective members during severe lateral
loads especially in earthquakes and winds. Extensive researches, both analytical and …
