In Australia, most of the existing buildings were designed before the release of the
Australian standard for earthquake actions in 2007. Therefore, many existing buildings in …

Reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls are primarily designed to resist lateral actions in
buildings, in addition to carrying the vertical loads from above. Recent changes in the …

Modern reinforced concrete design codes can generally achieve the primary performance
level of no collapse in the event of a rare to very rare earthquake. However, recent seismic …

ABSTRACT The project 'Cost-Effective Mitigation Strategy Development for Building Related
Earthquake Risk'under the Bushfire and Natural Hazards Cooperative Research Centre …

This research investigates the equivalent plastic hinge length of reinforced concrete C-
shaped walls with reinforcement detailing typically found in low-to-moderate seismic …

Poor performance of lightly reinforced and unconfined concrete structural walls have been
observed in recent earthquake events. This research investigates the displacement capacity …

The drift demand of plan-asymmetric buildings in low seismicity regions was studied by
employing Incremental Dynamic Analysis to track the influence of torsion. A stepped …

Precast concrete building cores are a widely used lateral load resisting system in low and
mid-rise multi-storey buildings. However, despite their widespread use in countries like …

Reinforced concrete structural walls are frequently used as a lateral load resisting system in
buildings. In some buildings affected by relatively recent seismic events, the response of the …

Displacement-based methods, such as a non-linear static pushover analysis (eg the
capacity spectrum method), have many advantages compared to traditional force-based …
