Reinforced concrete (RC) buildings are often constructed with non-structural walls. Severe
damage to non-structural walls has been observed in many RC buildings after major …

Due to lack of sufficient concrete strength or change in design guidelines, some RC
structures are in need of retrofitting. RC moment resisting frames can be retrofitted through …

An experiment was conducted on four lightly reinforced concrete (RC) wall specimens to
study the effects of axial force, amount of shear reinforcement, and shear span to wall length …

Many of residential buildings, which have pilotis in lower stories to meet the architectural
needs, are recently constructed in Korea. Usually, infill walls located in the upper stories of …

Concrete block infill walls, due to their high strength and stiffness, can significantly influence
the seismic behavior of the frames. The infill walls can increase the overall lateral frame …

The reinforced concrete (RC) moment-resisting frames with masonry infill walls are widely
used in buildings. It has been well recognized that the arrangement and constructional detail …

Non-rectangular reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls are commonly adopted in
buildings. These walls are important structural elements in resisting lateral load imposed by …

This study aims to compare the seismic performance of two 42‐story reinforced concrete
buildings located in Los Angeles, California: a coupled core wall building and a similar core …

Existing lightly reinforced concrete (RC) moment frames are vulnerable to earthquakes. The
seismic behavior of these frames could be affected by the presence of masonry infill walls …

Lightly reinforced concrete (LRC) walls have been widely used in reinforced concrete (RC)
buildings in Japan as partitions and enclosure walls. Despite their contributions of …
