Estimating the seismic demands of structures specially their maximum base shear during an
earthquake can be used in seismic evaluation and designing purposes. In this paper, a …

ABSTRACT RC coupled shear walls are known as one of the best and popular lateral load
resisting structural systems. Most of the structural design codes have no seismic design …

An analytical study is performed to evaluate the effect of shear wall area to floor area ratio on
the seismic behavior of midrise RC structures. For this purpose, 24 midrise building models …

Abstract According to Saudi Building Code (SBC) and almost all other seismic codes of the
world, Reinforced Concrete (RC) shear wallmoment resisting frame buildings must satisfy …

Reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall structures are one of the most widely used structural
systems to resist seismic loading all around the world. Although there have been several …

Purpose This article aims to explore the implication of effective stiffness modifiers of
structural elements on the seismic performance of high-rise RC frame buildings with shear …

Nonlinear response history analysis (NLRHA) is considered the most accurate procedure for
evaluating the seismic performance of high-rise buildings. However, it requires considerable …

An analytical study was carried out to evaluate shear wall indexes for low to mid-rise
reinforced concrete structures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different …

This study evaluates prediction models for three EDPs (engineering demand parameters)
using data from three symmetrical structures with RC walls designed according to the …

Seismic assessment of mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings is important for urban seismic
risk reduction. Nonlinear time history analysis is the state-of-the-art analysis tool for this …
