Tests on reinforced concrete frame corners subjected to an opening bending moment
(corresponding to tensile stresses in the reentrant corner) are described. Three …

In the past few years, there has been growing use of finite element method for analysis of
RCC structures to eliminate the expensive testing. However, validations of numerical models …

Results of an experimental study and a literature survey of the reinforcement detailing in
concrete frame corners subjected to closing or opening moment are presented in this study …

The vulnerability of existing structures may be due to structural system weaknesses and
specific detailing. Structural weaknesses are characterised by various irregularities and …

The present article presents a practical method to determine the effective length factor of
multi-storey frames based on a rigorous analytical approach applied to a basic model …

Reinforced concrete frame-wall (RC frame-Wall) structures are generally solved in a global
manner by modeling the entire structure by assembling the RC frame and wall stiffness …

Slender RC walls are often used in Chile and commonly, due to architectural constraint, the
length of walls increases (setback) between floors designated for parking space and upper …

The principal objective for this work was to extend the field of application of FEM to space
frame beam-column connections under static loading and with lateral displacements. A four …

The seismic vulnerability analysis of multi-span bridges can be based on the response of the
piers, provided that deck, bearings and foundations remain elastic. The lateral response of …

Nowadays building with irregular configuration is more prone to seismic action. Previous
earthquake experiences have demonstrated that buildings with plan irregularity suffer …
